TCP Client/Server Key-Value Store

Overview

This project includes a TCP server and client that collaborate to create a basic key-value store with timestamp support. The server manages data storage and responds to client requests, while the client can both retrieve and store data.

Server

Features

• Connection Handling: Manages incoming TCP connections.
• Data Storage: Uses a global dictionary for timestamped key-value storage.
• PUT Command: Stores or updates data.
• GET Command: Retrieves data based on keys.
• Error Handling: Deals with invalid commands.
• Execution: Listens on 127.0.0.1 and port 8888.

Usage

Run server.py to start the server.

Client

Features

• Connection Creation: Establishes a TCP connection to the server.
• GET Command: Sends get requests to retrieve data.
• PUT Command: Sends put requests to store or update data.
• Error Handling: Manages various errors including timeouts and socket errors.
• Response Parsing: Parses server responses.

Usage

Utilize the Client class in client.py to interact with the server.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• asyncio library for the server
• socket library for the client

Installation

1. Clone the repository.
2. Make sure the required libraries are installed.

Running the Project

1. Start the server by running server.py.
2. Use the client in client.py to interact with the server.
