    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.

    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.

    LaravelS

    LaravelS is an out-of-the-box adapter between Laravel/Lumen and Swoole

    LaravelS is an out-of-the-box adapter between Laravel/Lumen and Swoole. LaravelS uses Swoole's Synchronous IO mode, the larger the worker_num setting, the better the concurrency performance, but it will cause more memory usage and process switching overhead. If one request takes 100ms, in order to provide 1000QPS concurrency, at least 100 Worker processes need to be configured. Create WebSocket Handler class, and implement interface WebSocketHandlerInterface. The instant is automatically instantiated when start, you do not need to manually create it.

    RESTinio

    RESTinio

    HTTP/WebSocket server C++14 library

    RESTinio is a header-only C++14 library that gives you an embedded HTTP/WebSocket server. It is based on the standalone version of ASIO and is targeted primarily for the asynchronous processing of HTTP requests. Since v.0.4.1 Boost::ASIO (1.66 or higher) is also supported. Consider the task of writing a C++ application that must support some REST API, RESTinio represents our solution for that task. Server runs on the main thread, and responds to all requests with a hello-world message. Of course, you've got access to the structure of a given HTTP request, so you can apply complex logic for handling requests. Async request handling. Cannot get the response data immediately? That's ok, store the request handle somewhere and/or pass it to another execution context and get back to it when the data is ready.

    Ratchet WebSocket

    Ratchet WebSocket

    Asynchronous WebSocket server

    Ratchet is a loosely coupled PHP library providing developers with tools to create real time, bi-directional applications between clients and servers over WebSockets. Write your own chat (aka "Hello World!" for sockets) application in a matter of minutes. After understanding "the new flow", event driven programming, compared to traditional HTTP request/response - writing any application on top of Ratchet becomes fast and easy. Ratchet provides many components for you to pick and choose from to easily add functionality. The component architecture allows you to focus on functionality with the ability to reuse and add or remove other component functionality. Ratchet is fully PSR-4 compliant, so it naturally plays well with others. Leveraging components from Symfony2, development should feel similar to many. Ratchet passes all WebSocket tests to ensure it works on all supported browsers.

    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.

    rpc-websockets

    JSON-RPC 2.0 implementation over WebSockets for Node.js

    The rpc-websockets library enables developers to easily implement their business logic that includes messaging between users, machines or any devices. It provides a possibility to send and receive JSON data through the WebSocket communication protocol in order to support two-way notification push, running RPC methods and firing any types of event signalling. Only clients can call RPC methods and not vice versa at the moment. Both frontend (HTML/JS-based) and backend (Node.js-based) development environments are supported.

    ws

    ws

    Tiny WebSocket library for Go

    Zero-copy upgrade. No intermediate allocations during I/O. Low-level API which allows building your own logic of packet handling and buffers reuse. High-level wrappers and helpers around API in wsutil package, which allow to start fast without digging the protocol internals. Existing WebSocket implementations do not allow users to reuse I/O buffers between connections in clear way. This library aims to export efficient low-level interface for working with the protocol without forcing only one way it could be used. Library is tagged as v1* so its API must not be broken during some improvements or refactoring. Example applications using ws are developed in separate repository ws-examples. We can apply the same pattern to read and write structured responses through a JSON encoder and decoder.Zero-copy upgrade helps to avoid unnecessary allocations and copying while handling HTTP Upgrade request.

    PHP Websockets

    Provides Websocket RFC6455 functionality to PHP

    This project provides 6 new functions to PHP that are meant to interact with a websocket (RFC6455) peer. ws_get_frame_info() - Gets information about an upcoming websockets frame ws_read_frame() - Reads the data of a websockets frame from a client or server ws_send_close() - Sends a close frame to the websockets peer ws_send_ping() - Sends a ping frame to the websockets peer ws_send_pong() - Sends a pong frame to the websockets peer These functions are written in low level C so they are fast when compared with functions that are written in PHP, especially for operations like sending and receiving larger binary files.
