Open Source Mobile Operating Systems WebSocket Servers

This repository contains a barebones WebSocket server and client implementation written in 100% Java. The underlying classes are implemented java.nio, which allows for a non-blocking event-driven model (similar to the WebSocket API for web browsers). The org.java_websocket.server.WebSocketServer abstract class implements the server-side of the WebSocket Protocol. A WebSocket server by itself doesn't do anything except establish socket connections though HTTP. After that it's up to your subclass to add purpose. The org.java_websocket.client.WebSocketClient abstract class can connect to valid WebSocket servers. The constructor expects a valid ws:// or wss:// URI to connect to. Important events onOpen, onClose, onMessage and onError get fired throughout the life of the WebSocketClient, and must be implemented in your subclass.

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.

Mongoose is a networking library for C/C++. It implements event-driven non-blocking APIs for TCP, UDP, HTTP, WebSocket, MQTT. It is designed for connecting devices and bringing them online. On the market since 2004, used by vast number of open source and commercial products - it even runs on the International Space Station! Mongoose makes embedded network programming fast, robust, and easy. Cross-platform, works on Linux/UNIX, MacOS, Windows, Android, FreeRTOS, etc. Supported embedded architectures: ESP32, NRF52, STM32, NXP, and more. Built-in protocols: plain TCP/UDP, HTTP, MQTT, Websocket. SSL/TLS support: mbedTLS, OpenSSL or custom (via API). Used to solve a wide range of business needs, like implementing Web UI interface on devices, RESTful API services, telemetry data exchange, remote control for a product, remote software updates, remote monitoring, and others.

We wanted a simple server for sending and receiving messages (in real time per WebSocket). For this, not many open source projects existed and most of the existing ones were abandoned. Also, a requirement was that it can be self-hosted. We know there are many free and commercial push services out there. Both Gotify's API and user interface are designed to be as simple as possible. Notify is written in Go and can be easily compiled for different platforms. Docker images are automatically built on every release. Several static code analyzers and many unit/end2end tests are run on every travis-ci build. The heart of this project. gotify/server features a WebUI and functionality for sending messages via a REST-API. For subscribing/receiving messages via a web socket connection and managing users, clients and applications.

Socket.IO-client for iOS/OS X. Supports Socket.IO server 2.0+/3.0+/4.0+. Supports Binary, supports Polling and WebSockets, and supports TLS/SSL. Requires Swift 4/5 and Xcode 10.x. Add the project as a dependency to your Package.swift. Add the Starscream and SocketIO frameworks to your projects and follow the usual Carthage process.

Client library providing WAMP on Java 8 (Netty) and Android, plus (secure) WebSocket for Android. The WebSocket layer is using a callback-based user API, and is specifically written for Android. Eg it does not run any network stuff on the main (UI) thread. The WAMP layer is using Java 8 CompletableFuture for WAMP actions (call, register, publish, and subscribe) and the Observer pattern for WAMP session, subscription and registration lifecycle events. The library is MIT licensed, maintained by the Crossbar.io Project, tested using the AutobahnTestsuite and published as a JAR to Maven and as a Docker toolchain image to Dockerhub.

Starscream is a conforming WebSocket (RFC 6455) library in Swift. Once imported, you can open a connection to your WebSocket server. Note that socket is probably best as a property, so it doesn't get deallocated right after being setup. After you are connected, there is either a delegate or closure you can use for process WebSocket events. The writeData method gives you a simple way to send Data (binary) data to the server. The writeString method is the same as writeData, but sends text/string. The writePing method is the same as write, but sends a ping control frame. Starscream will automatically respond to incoming ping control frames so you do not need to manually send pongs. You can override the default websocket headers, add your own custom ones and set a timeout. Update docs on how to load certificates and public keys into an app bundle, use the builtin pinner and TrustKit.
