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. -

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. -

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. -
