## What it is
t-io is a Java network programming framework built on Java AIO that simplifies building high-performance TCP/UDP and WebSocket servers. It provides built-in heartbeat handling, user/token/group binding, and per-channel traffic monitoring, and is widely used for IoT, IM, and customer service applications.

## Use cases
- build an instant messaging server in Java
- implement custom TCP protocols for IoT devices
- create a WebSocket server for real-time chat
- manage long-lived connections with heartbeat detection
- build a customer service messaging backend
- unify TCP and UDP business logic behind one API

## When to choose
- you need high-performance long-connection networking on the JVM
- you want built-in user, token, and group binding for IM-style apps
- you need both TCP and UDP support with a unified API
- you want per-connection traffic and heartbeat monitoring out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose HTTP/REST web framework
- you prefer Netty's larger ecosystem and community
- your project is not on the JVM
- you need non-blocking I/O on platforms without Java AIO support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: websocket, networking, middleware, monitoring
- domain: networking, iot, developer-tools
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: aio, tcp, udp, socket, im, instant-messaging, protocol, java-framework, long-connection, messaging, real-time
