Chatting Platforml made only with java.

JCoreChat

Template for chat application REST API with database.

J stands for Java, because Java will be the most used language for the project

Core means that it is open-source

Chat because it is made for social media platform after all

Features

• It can use SQL and NoSQL for database. Tested databases: PostgresSQL, MongoDB, MySQL | I wanted to add ScyllaDB, but it is too confusing.
• Roles with custom permissions. I haven't added checks for permissions based on role, because they are custom, so you have to implement them.
• I use custom base64 encoding and 2 types of encryption. Global and Per-User. Here is how the data is sent:
• Raw data -> encrypted (per-user or globally based on the use case) -> encoded with custom base64 letters. Then it is sent with headers.
• Make sure to make good and readable built-in docs for it so devs won't be confused.
• The API is made with in mind that only the original application will use it.
