• No Exception Handling: Designed to avoid exceptions for increased reliability.
• No External Dependency: Fully self-contained, reducing the overhead of additional libraries.
• Non-Blocking: Designed to handle multiple operations simultaneously without waiting.
• Protocol: Implements a robust protocol for data transmission.
• std::expected: Utilizes std::expected for error handling, making it easier to manage outcomes.

Getting Started

To get started with pulse::net::proto, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• A C++ compiler that supports C++23.
• CMake (version 3.10 or higher).
• Git for cloning the repository.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dequillem/pulsenet-proto.git
   cd pulsenet-proto

2. Build the project:

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..
   make

3. Run the application:

   After building, you can find the executable in the build directory. Run it to see the protocol in action.

Usage

Once you have the application running, you can use the provided API to send and receive UDP packets. Here’s a simple example:

#include <pulse/net/proto.hpp>

int main() {
    pulse::net::proto::UDPClient client("localhost", 8080);
    client.send("Hello, World!");
    
    std::string response = client.receive();
    std::cout << "Received: " << response << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

This code snippet demonstrates how to create a UDP client, send a message, and receive a response.
