Java WebSockets

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).

Implemented WebSocket protocol versions are:

• RFC 6455

Here some more details about protocol versions/drafts.

Writing your own WebSocket Server

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.

An example for a WebSocketServer can be found in both the wiki and the example folder.

Writing your own WebSocket Client

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.

An example for a WebSocketClient can be found in both the wiki and the example folder.
