I deal with a lot of socket programming and I need a client that can connect to a listening server and be able to send both JSON and XML. Is there any software that is capable of that?

I tried telnet and each time I send some string it disconnects. Commandline tool is okay but I would prefer GUI if there is one

Reset to default
1 
nc <server> <port>

After that, everything that is typed in is sent. Data from server is printed.

To get more flexibility, make a fifo mkfifo myfifo and read from it:

tail -f myfifo | nc <server> <port>

Then from other terminal window the files can be sent:

cat myfile > myfifo
