PulseChat is a real-time chat application built using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack. It utilizes JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication and authorization, as well as Socket.io for real-time communication between clients and the server.
- Real-time messaging: Instantly chat with other users in real-time.
- User authentication: Securely authenticate users using JSON Web Tokens.
- Responsive design: Enjoy a seamless experience across various devices and screen sizes.
- User-friendly interface: Intuitive design for ease of use.
- MongoDB: NoSQL database used to store user data and chat messages.
- Express.js: Web application framework for Node.js, used for building the server-side application.
- React.js: JavaScript library for building user interfaces, used for the frontend of the application.
- Node.js: JavaScript runtime environment used to execute server-side code.
- JSON Web Tokens (JWT): Token-based authentication mechanism used to verify the identity of users.
- Socket.io: Library for real-time web applications, facilitating bidirectional communication between clients and the server.
This project was inspired by the need for a real-time chat application. Special thanks to the creators and maintainers of the MERN stack, JWT, and Socket.io for their invaluable contributions to the development community.
