I need to ask , is it mandatory, if i have implemented my TCP server using Netty , to program my client also using Netty, to have the same channel handling ? , or can any TCP client written in Pure Java NIO without netty, work with any netty server without any issues in stream handling and encoding ?

Additional part :

My server has a customizable logic in in the server encoder , decoder and login decoder, should i also replicate the same logic in client decoder and encoder?

Waiting your valuable reply,

Thanks a lot

No. Not necessary at all. Netty is a server and you can write the TCP client in any language or framework of your choice.
