Socket in Java and

Socket
Programming
Sockets are a fundamental concept in Java programming that
enable network communication between applications. Socket
programming involves creating client-server applications that can
exchange data over a network using the TCP/IP protocol.

Introduction to Socket
Programming
1 Establishing Connection
Sockets allow applications to create a connection and
communicate over a network, with the client initiating the
connection and the server listening for incoming requests.

2 Data Exchange
Once a connection is established, the client and server can
send and receive data through the socket, enabling real-time
communication.

3 Connection Termination
When the communication is complete, the socket connection
can be closed, releasing the resources used for the
exchange.

Client-Server Architecture
Client Requests
The client initiates a connection and sends requests
to the server, seeking information or services.

Server Response
The server receives the client's request, processes it,
and sends a response back to the client.

Continuous Interaction
The client-server interaction can continue, with the
client making additional requests and the server
responding accordingly.

Establishing a Connection

Connection Initiation
The client initiates a connection by creating a Socket object and specifying the
server's IP address and port.

Server Listening
The server creates a ServerSocket and listens for incoming connection requests
on a specific port.

Connection Establishment
When the client's connection request is received, the server accepts it, and a
socket connection is established.

Advantages of Socket
Programming
Real-time Communication Sockets enable immediate and
synchronous data exchange
between applications, allowing for
real-time interactions.

Scalability Socket programming supports the


development of scalable network
applications that can handle
multiple clients simultaneously.

Flexibility Sockets can be used in a wide range


of applications, from simple chat
programs to complex distributed
systems.
Platform Independence Socket programming in Java is
platform-independent, allowing
applications to communicate across
different operating systems.
