The Private & Group Messaging Chat Server is a real-time communication platform developed using Node.js and Socket.IO. It allows multiple users to communicate in public chat rooms, participate in group discussions, and send private messages to individual users. This project was designed to create an interactive and engaging chat environment, providing advanced features to enhance user experience.
The system allows users to register with unique usernames and join chat sessions in real-time. Users can create private groups and initiate one-on-one conversations, with features such as message alerts, color-coded private messages, and the ability to clear chat histories for individual sessions. The backend is designed to handle concurrent users efficiently, ensuring that chat messages are delivered instantly across multiple clients.
Real-Time Messaging: Built using Socket.IO, this chat server provides real-time messaging capabilities, allowing multiple users to send and receive messages instantaneously. This ensures seamless communication without delays.
