Overview

Getting Started

Socket, Provides a unified, type-safe API for client-server communication in Roblox

Features - buffer serialization for efficient network usage

Note

This module uses the Buffer module, which means that with each update of it, Socket will be re-uploaded.

Version

Socket V1.3.1

Important

Using non-defined string length

For string data type that require more than 64 byte please use something like this :

1
2
3
4
5
6
local schema : Socket.BufferSchema = {
    Value = {
        Type = "String",
        Length = 1024
    } -- This will require 1024 bytes
}

Padding characters if len is not respected

When you use a String type regardless of size (A custom or String[Len]), if the size is not respected, for example if you use a String8 and the string is less than 8 characters, special characters

1
string.char(31)

will be placed. Please note that these characters are automatically removed during buffer deserialization so your data will NOT be impacted unless you put this character in the string itself.
