SockJS is a browser JavaScript library that provides a WebSocket-like object.

In addition to attaching additional API methods, Sockette allows you to reuse instances, avoiding the need to redeclare all event listeners. You have direct access to the (current) underlying WebSocket within every EventListener callback.
