    socket.io

    socket.io

    Realtime application framework (Node.JS server)

    socket.io is a JavaScript library that allows for realtime, bi-directional communication between web clients and servers. It is composed of two parts: a Node.js server and a JavaScript client library that runs in the browser. socket.io is focused on both reliability and speed, delivering an immensely powerful, fast and yet easy to use realtime engine that’s used by just about everyone: from Microsoft Office and Zendesk to hackathon winners and small startups. It’s considered one of the most depended-upon npm modules, and works on every platform, browser or device.

    GraphQL WebSocket

    GraphQL WebSocket

    Coherent, zero-dependency, lazy, simple, GraphQL

    Coherent, zero-dependency, lazy, simple, GraphQL over WebSocket Protocol compliant server and client. Messages are represented through the JSON structure and are stringified before being sent over the network. They are bidirectional, meaning both the server and the client must conform to the specified message structure. Connection is a connection within the established socket describing a "connection" through which the operation requests will be communicated. The server can close the socket (kick the client off) at any time. The close event dispatched by the server is used to describe the fatal error to the client. The client closes the socket and the connection by dispatching a 1000: Normal Closure close event to the server indicating a normal closure.

    SockJS-client

    SockJS-client

    WebSocket emulation and Javascript client

    SockJS is a browser JavaScript library that provides a WebSocket-like object. SockJS gives you a coherent, cross-browser, Javascript API which creates a low latency, full duplex, cross-domain communication channel between the browser and the web server. Under the hood SockJS tries to use native WebSockets first. If that fails it can use a variety of browser-specific transport protocols and presents them through WebSocket-like abstractions. SockJS is intended to work for all modern browsers and in environments which don't support the WebSocket protocol, for example, behind restrictive corporate proxies. SockJS-client does require a server counterpart, such as SockJS-node, which is a SockJS server for Node.js. The API should follow HTML5 Websockets API as closely as possible. All the transports must support cross domain connections out of the box. It's possible and recommended to host a SockJS server on a different server than your main web site.

    Tyrus

    Tyrus

    Eclipse Tyrus is the open source JSR 356 - Java API for WebSocket

    Eclipse Tyrus is the open source JSR 356 - Java API for WebSocket reference implementation for easy development of WebSocket applications.Eclipse Tyrus is also a Jakarta WebSocket 2.0 compatible implementation. WebSocket protocol defined by IETF provides bi-directional communication between the server and the remote host. The pros are mainly the ability to communicate both ways, low latency and small communication overhead. Therefore Tyrus and WebSocket in general are suitable for web applications that require sending a huge volume of relatively small messages like online games or market ticker broadcasting.

    websocketd

    websocketd

    Turn any program that uses STDIN/STDOUT into a WebSocket server

    websocketd is the WebSocket daemon. It takes care of handling the WebSocket connections, launching your programs to handle the WebSockets, and passing messages between programs and web-browser. If you can run your program from the command line, you can write WebSocket endpoints. Just read incoming text from stdin and write outgoing text to stdout. Messaging is simple. Each inbound WebSocket connection runs your program in a dedicated process. Connections are isolated by process. Available for Linux, OSX, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris. Serves your static HTML, JavaScript, etc. Route different URLs to different programs. Dynamic generate content over HTTP too. Out-of-the-box support for serving content using HTTPS and WSS. Restrict which pages can make WebSocket connections. Interact with your WebSocket programs before you've built your frontend.

    AnyCable

    AnyCable

    Polyglot replacement for Ruby WebSocket servers with Action Cable

    Notifications, chats, real-time updates, GPS trackers, collaboration tools, and other real-time features are essential for every modern app. And you should be able to build them in the comfort of your core framework: owning the data, using resources efficiently, and writing clean, maintainable code. AnyCable transforms your Rails application’s real-time performance, making it on par with Go, Elixir, and Node.js–based solutions so you can focus on implementing the business logic. Scale efficiently with AnyCable by leveraging its much lower RAM usage and better CPU utilization than Action Cable. Like with any data, being strategic when handling real-time data is super important. With AnyCable, you remain the owner: you store and access all the data directly, and you never send it to a 3rd-party. Simple and secure.

    Rhubarb

    Rhubarb

    A WebSocket library optimized for multiplayer JS games

    Rhubarb is a lightweight WebSocket library for multiplayer HTML5 games. It is originally designed to be used by the ROYGBIV Engine. However, it can be used outside of ROYGBIV as well. Javascript is slow, therefore we want to have as much main-process-power as we can in order to do game related calculations, graphics rendering and achieving 60 FPS. For multiplayer games achieving 60 FPS gets even more complicated given that transferring data over WebSockets is a slow operation. It also triggers GC activity by copying the transferred data (if JSON is the preferred way), which eventually slows down the main thread as well.

    Socket.IO-client Java

    Socket.IO-client Java

    A Socket.IO client library for Java

    This is the Socket.IO Client Library for Java, which is simply ported from the JavaScript client. The latest artifact is available on Maven Central. There are several ways to handle events that are transmitted between the server and the client. Add the listener function to the end of the listeners array for the event named eventName. Add a one-time listener function for the event named eventName. Remove the specified listener from the listener array for the event named eventName. Remove all listeners for the specific eventName. Remove all listeners (for any event). Besides emitting and listening to events, the Socket instance has a few attributes that may be of use in your application. Each new connection is assigned a random 20-characters identifier.

    WebSocket Kit

    WebSocket Kit

    WebSocket client library built on SwiftNIO

    WebSocket client library built on SwiftNIO. WebSockets allow for two-way communication between a client and server. Unlike HTTP, which has a request and response pattern, WebSocket peers can send an arbitrary number of messages in either direction. Vapor's WebSocket API allows you to create both clients and servers that handle messages asynchronously.

    WebSocketListener

    WebSocketListener

    A lightweight and scalable asynchronous WebSocket listener

    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.
