XSCP

XSCP (XSCP Simple Chat Protocol) is a text-based chat protocol built from scratch in Rust.

Overview

XSCP defines a minimal client-server architecture for real-time text messaging over TCP. The protocol is intentionally simple: clients connect to a server, send messages, and the server broadcasts each message to every connected client. Think IRC, but stripped to its bare bones and written in modern Rust.

Roadmap

The next milestone is migrating the networking layer to Tokio, Rust's async runtime. Today the server is single-threaded and handles one client at a time — Tokio will unlock the concurrent connections needed to make broadcast work properly.

  • TCP server/client foundation
  • Async I/O with Tokio
  • Multi-client broadcast
