Wslay - The WebSocket library
Project Web: https://tatsuhiro-t.github.io/wslay/
Wslay is a WebSocket library written in C.
It implements the protocol version 13 described in
RFC 6455 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455>_.
This library offers 2 levels of API:
event-based API and frame-based low-level API. For event-based API, it
is suitable for non-blocking reactor pattern style. You can set
callbacks in various events. For frame-based API, you can send
WebSocket frame directly. Wslay only supports data transfer part of
WebSocket protocol and does not perform opening handshake in HTTP.
Wslay supports:
- Text/Binary messages.
- Automatic ping reply.
- Callback interface.
- External event loop.
Wslay does not perform any I/O operations for its own. Instead, it
offers callbacks for them. This makes Wslay independent on any I/O
frameworks, SSL, sockets, etc. This makes Wslay portable across
various platforms and the application authors can choose freely I/O
frameworks.
