The Netty Project 3.0.0.M7 API Reference

Low-level data representation

net.gleamynode.netty.buffer

Abstraction of a byte-level buffer - the fundamental data structure to represent low-level binary and text messages.

Central interface for all I/O operations

net.gleamynode.netty.channel	The core channel API which is asynchronous and event-driven abstraction of various transports such as a NIO Channel.
net.gleamynode.netty.channel.socket	Abstract TCP and UDP socket interfaces which extend the core channel API.
net.gleamynode.netty.channel.socket.nio	NIO-based socket channel API implementation - recommended for large number of connections (> 1000).
net.gleamynode.netty.channel.socket.oio	Old blocking I/O based socket channel API implementation - recommended for small number of connections (< 1000).

Client & Server bootstrapping utilities

net.gleamynode.netty.bootstrap

Helper classes which enable an easy implementation of typical client and server socket initialization.

Reusable I/O event interceptors

net.gleamynode.netty.handler.codec.frame	Extensible decoder and its common implementations which deal with the packet fragmentation and reassembly issue found in a stream-based transport such as TCP/IP.
net.gleamynode.netty.handler.codec.replay	Specialized decoder which enables implementation of a non-blocking decoder with blocking I/O paradigm.
net.gleamynode.netty.handler.codec.serialization	Encoder, decoder and their compatibility stream implementations which transform a Serializable object into a byte buffer and vice versa.
net.gleamynode.netty.handler.codec.string	Encoder and decoder which transform a string into a byte buffer and vice versa.
net.gleamynode.netty.handler.execution	Executor-based implementation of various thread models and memory overload prevention mechanisms.
net.gleamynode.netty.handler.ssl	SSL · TLS implementation.
