Architecture

The engine is built around three main pieces:

• ChatEngine — The main class you instantiate
• Managers (RoomManager, UserManager) — Internal state handling
• Handlers (Message, Presence, Typing) — Business logic for each domain

You rarely need to touch the internals — the public API on ChatEngine and the configuration options cover most use cases.
