Open Source C# WebSocket Libraries

SuperSocket is a high-performance, extensible socket server framework for .NET applications. It provides a structured foundation for building custom network communication servers without manually implementing every low-level socket concern. The framework supports multiple protocols, including TCP, UDP, and WebSocket, and gives developers a modular architecture for protocol parsing, session handling, command processing, and server hosting. It is suitable for chat servers, game servers, IoT gateways, telemetry services, industrial systems, and other real-time network applications. SuperSocket is designed to be flexible enough for custom binary or text protocols while still offering reusable abstractions for common server patterns. It is most useful for .NET teams that need robust networking infrastructure with room for domain-specific protocol logic.

The WebSocketListener class provides simple methods that listen for and accept incoming WebSocket connection requests asynchronously. It is a lightweight listener with an API very similar to the System.Net.TcpListener class. It does not use the Microsoft's System.Net.WebSockets namespace. WebSocketListener has been designed to provide WebSocket connectivity to other applications, in the same way that System.Net.TcpListener provides TCP connectivity. It is not a communication framework on its own and it does not provide any kind of publisher/subscriber pattern or reliable messaging beyond TCP.
