Redis GUI Client

Phase 1: RESP Protocol Implementation

Implement the Redis Serialization Protocol (RESP) for communication with a Redis server.

  • Parse and serialize RESP message types (Simple Strings, Errors, Integers, Bulk Strings, Arrays)
  • Validate message format and error handling

Functional Output: RESP messages can be sent and received correctly without using external libraries.


Phase 2: Connection Management and Command Execution

Implement connection handling to a local Redis server and basic command sending/receiving.

  • Establish TCP socket connection
  • Send commands following RESP format
  • Receive and parse responses

Functional Output: Client can execute basic Redis commands and receive correct responses.


Phase 3: CRUD for Strings and Lists

Implement GUI support for basic operations on Strings and Lists.

  • Create, read, update, delete elements
  • Display contents in the GUI
  • Handle edge cases (non-existent keys, empty lists)

Functional Output: Users can perform all CRUD operations on Strings and Lists via GUI.


Phase 4: CRUD for Sets and Hashes

Extend GUI to support Sets and Hashes operations.

  • Add, remove, retrieve members/fields
  • Display current state of Sets and Hashes
  • Validate input types and errors

Functional Output: Users can manage Sets and Hashes entirely through the GUI with correct RESP handling.


Phase 5: CRUD for Sorted Sets and Additional Features

Implement operations for Sorted Sets and enhance GUI usability.

  • Add elements with scores, retrieve range, remove elements
  • Update GUI layout and sorting
  • Error handling for score conflicts or invalid ranges

Functional Output: Full CRUD operations for Sorted Sets with live GUI updates.


Phase 6: Testing, Logging, and GUI Refinement

Add comprehensive tests, logging, and polish GUI design.

  • Unit/integration tests for RESP and CRUD
  • Verbose logging of commands and responses
  • Improve GUI responsiveness and error messages

Functional Output: Stable, fully tested Redis GUI client with proper logs and smooth user experience.
