Building a Redis Client in C++ (Part 5) | Parsing and Displaying Redis Responses
In Part 5 of our Redis CLI project, we handle server responses by creating a ResponseParser class. We implement ResponseParser::parseResponse() to read responses from the Redis server and display them in the CLI. For now, we support Simple String responses, and we'll expand parsing capabilities in future parts.
🔹 Topics Covered:
✅ Created ResponseParser.h/.cpp and implemented ResponseParser class
✅ Integrated parseResponse() to read and process Redis server responses
✅ Successfully parsed and printed Simple String responses
✅ Connected ResponseParser to CLI for real-time output

🔔 Stay tuned for Part 6, where we expand response parsing to handle Errors, Bulk Strings, and Arrays!
