SCH

This project is an attempt at creating a JSON-only TCP protocol. It is a work in progress and is not yet ready for production use.

Design

This protocol currently uses a basic client-server model, but the finalversion will be more flexible and will allow for more complex topologies. The server is a simple TCP server that listens on a port and accepts incoming connections. The server can handle multiple clients at the same time.

Language

The "base" part of the server and client are written in C but in order to allow for more flexibility, request handling is done in python. This allows for more complex request handling and easier integration with other systems.

Protocol Specifications

The SCH protocol uses a simple JSON format for communication. The basic pattern is as follows:

{
    "method" : "TEST",
    "status" : "OK",
    "version" : "1.0",
    "id" : "SHA-256",
    "headers" : {
        "client" : "CURL 1.0",
        "host" : "0.0.0.0"
    },   
    "body" : {
        "Hi ! How are you ?"
    }
}

Installation

The protocol and server are not yet ready for production use. However, you can try the package like this:

make
./bin/sch
