Rapid network application development doesn't mean that a resulting
application will suffer from a maintainability or a performance issue.
Netty has been designed carefully with the experiences earned from
the implementation of a lot of protocols such as FTP, SMTP, HTTP, and
various binary and text-based legacy protocols. As a result, Netty
has succeeded to find a way to achieve ease of development,
performance, stability, and flexibility without a compromise.
In other words, Netty is a NIO client server framework which enables
quick and easy development of network applications such as protocol
servers and clients. It greatly simplifies and streamlines network
programming such as TCP/IP socket server development.
