betacrewexchangeserver

This repository contains code for a Betacrew Exchange Server and a C# client for connecting to it. The server simulates a stock exchange, and the client retrieves stock ticker data from the server.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• Node.js (v16.17.0 or higher)
• .NET Visual Studio 2022 SDK (v7.0.400)
• Git

Note: This project was developed and tested on a Windows-based environment.

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/suyashxd/betacrewexchangeserver.git

2. Navigate to the project directory

cd betacrewexchangeserver

3. Start the Betacrew Exchange Server

cd betacrew_exchange_server node main.js

4. Open a new terminal window (keep the server running in the previous terminal)

cd ../client

5. Build and run the C# client

dotnet run

6. To stop the server, simply press Ctrl + C in the terminal where the server is running

Result

A json file called processed_data.json will be generated in the client directory that will contain an array of objects, where each object represents a packet of data with increasing sequences

Note

The code overwrites the existing JSON file instead of creating a new one each time dotnet run is executed.
