websockets
Introduction
Provides a sensible, clean and simple way to write WebSocket-capable servers in Haskell.
The following program echoes messages back after appending meow:
meow :: TextProtocol p => WebSockets p ()
meow = forever $ do
msg <- receiveData
sendTextData $ msg `T.append` ", meow."Installation is provided using cabal:
cabal install websocketsCompatibility
The Hybi00, Hybi10 and Rfc6455 protocols are all supported by the library.
| Protocol | Firefox | Chrome | Opera | Safari |
|---|---|---|---|---|

>= 4 | >= 6 | >= 11 | >= 5.0.1 |

>= 7 | >= 14 | ||

Authors
An initial WebSockets library was written in 2010 by Siniša Biđin. In 2011, it was rewritten from scratch, and extended to it’s current state by Jasper Van der Jeugt, who is also the current maintainer.

Development
Pull requests are always welcome!
This library is production-quality. Therefore we have very high standards in terms of code style, API quality and testing.
We have two kinds of tests: Haskell-based tests (tests/haskell), which use the test-framework library. Additionally, there are integration tests available in tests/javascript, which require a browser to run.
