Socket (gdx 1.12.1 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Disposable

All Known Implementing Classes:

NetJavaSocketImpl
```
public interface Socket
extends Disposable
```
A client socket that talks to a server socket via some Net.Protocol. See Net.newClientSocket(Protocol, String, int, SocketHints) and Net.newServerSocket(Protocol, int, ServerSocketHints).
A socket has an InputStream used to send data to the other end of the connection, and an OutputStream to receive data from the other end of the connection.
A socket needs to be disposed if it is no longer used. Disposing also closes the connection.
