GhostText
Use your text editor to write in your browser
Whenever you’re writing more than a little snippet of code anywhere on the web, activate GhostText to open your preferred text editor and enjoy your own development environment. GhostText is a browser extension that connects to your editor via its own extension. Install both extensions and, if necessary, start the GhostText server in the editor’s extension. Most editor extensions are authored by third parties. You can create more extensions for your favorite editor! Refer to the protocol document. Once you have installed both browser and editor extensions, you can activate GhostText in the current browser tab by clicking its icon in the toolbar or by using a keyboard shortcut. The editor needs to be launched first. In some editors you’ll need to run the Enable GhostText command to start the server. Refer to the documentation of each extension. Sublime Text doesn’t need this step. -

IXWebSocket
websocket and http client and server library, with TLS support
IXWebSocket is a C++ library for WebSocket client and server development. It has minimal dependencies (no boost), is very simple to use and support everything you'll likely need for websocket dev (SSL, deflate compression, compiles on most platforms, etc...). HTTP client and server code is also available, but it hasn't received as much testing. It is been used on big mobile video game titles sending and receiving tons of messages since 2017 (iOS and Android). It was tested on macOS, iOS, Linux, Android, Windows and FreeBSD. Two important design goals are simplicity and correctness. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

Gorilla WebSocket
Fast, well-tested and widely used WebSocket implementation for Go
Gorilla WebSocket is a Go implementation of the WebSocket protocol. The Gorilla WebSocket package provides a complete and tested implementation of the WebSocket protocol. The package API is stable. An application can also send and receive messages using the io.WriteCloser and io.Reader interfaces. To send a message, call the connection NextWriter method to get an io.WriteCloser, write the message to the writer and close the writer when done. To receive a message, call the connection NextReader method to get an io.Reader and read until io.EOF is returned. The WebSocket protocol distinguishes between text and binary data messages. Text messages are interpreted as UTF-8 encoded text. The interpretation of binary messages is left to the application. The Gorilla WebSocket package passes the server tests in the Autobahn Test Suite using the application in the examples/autobahn subdirectory. -

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. -
