The Kroker project is a learning initiative focused on understanding TCP communication and the Kestrel web server's ConnectionHandler. This project involves implementing various protocols, starting with the STOMP (Simple Text Oriented Messaging Protocol) protocol, handling connections, and processing commands in a C# application.

• Kroker.Core: Contains the core logic for protocol handling, including frame parsing and writing.
• Kroker.Stomp.Tests: Contains unit tests for the STOMP frame parser and other components.

The project aims to support multiple protocols, starting with the STOMP protocol. The key classes involved are:

• StompFrame: Represents a STOMP frame with a command, headers, and content.
• StompFrameParser: Parses incoming STOMP frames and writes outgoing frames.
• StompProcessor: Processes incoming STOMP frames and handles different STOMP commands.

The project uses TCP communication to handle connections and data transfer. This involves:

• Implementing custom connection handlers.
• Managing data buffers and parsing incoming data.
• Sending and receiving protocol frames over TCP.

The project leverages the Kestrel web server's ConnectionHandler to manage TCP connections. This includes:

• Creating custom connection handlers to process incoming connections.
• Integrating the connection handlers with the Kestrel server.
• Handling connection lifecycle events and data transfer.

• .NET SDK
• Visual Studio or JetBrains Rider
