Example

Creating a server is easy..

var server = new ServerBuilder()
                .UseTcp(1000)
                .UseLogger<ConsoleLogger>()
                .SetLogLevel(LogLevel.Info)
                .UseZeroFormatter()
                .Build();

You can handle a packet easily using dependency injection, logging and built-in deserialisation.

public class PingPacketHandler : PacketHandlerBase<PingPacket>
{
    private readonly ILogger logger;

    public PingPacketHandler(ILogger logger)
    {
        this.logger = logger;
    }

    public override async Task Process(PingPacket packet, ISender sender)
    {
        this.logger.Debug("Received a ping packet from " + sender.EndPoint);
    }
}
