Package org.jnetstream.protocol.codec Description

A network protocol coder/decoder package. The package provide encoding and decoding services. The main class is the ProtocolCodecs class which contains static factory methods for various codec functions. The package functions mainly through its own interfaces which allow the codecs to save state during the codec processes. The main work interfaces are:
