A chat server is a centralized software component responsible for facilitating real-time communication among multiple chat clients within a networked environment. Acting as a nexus for message exchange, the chat server plays a crucial role in establishing and maintaining connections between chat clients, ensuring seamless communication channels. It orchestrates the initial connection setup process, enabling chat clients to discover and connect to each other efficiently. Additionally, the chat server manages user authentication, verifying the identities of clients to ensure secure and authorized access to the communication platform.
