Hi Yuriy,

xSocket next major version 2.0 will be released in about 2 or 3 month. A
second alpha version is already available. The alpha version is already
quite stable and fast(er), but minor API changes could be made. Major API
changes are not expected. The major open topic is the JMX support.

The version 2.0 will be accompanied by 2 extension modules HTTP and
MULTIPLEXED. Such extension  modules are located on the top of xSocket core.
Goal is, to keep the xSocket core small and independent. xSocket doesn't
require 3rd party libraries.

It is known, that xSocket is used by commercial projects. The initial
version of xSocket is a spin-off, of a commercial high performance smtp
server evaluation project. Sure, xSocket's community is smaller than MINA
ones.

xSocket major goal is to simplify the user API by supporting high scalablity
and performance based on NIO. xSocket doesn't try to get the last 5% of
performance regardless of the cost. This doesn't mean xSocket is not fast.
xSocket is fast and scalable. It just means that other quality requirements
such as maintability or simplicity are also appreciated by xSocket.

xSocket supports a SPI interface to plugin lower level NIO-Provider. Very
early experimental implementation based on Grizzly and MINA have been
realized.

I hope this helps you by making your decision

cheers
Gregor
