Java WebSocket
Java-WebSocket is a collection of classes for implementing WebSocket clients and servers using pure Java. It provides a framework for hosting servers that manage connections via event-driven subclasses and tools for establishing client connections to remote servers.
The library includes a secure communication tool for encrypting traffic using the WSS protocol and a compression library that uses per-message deflate extensions to reduce transmitted data size. It supports the configuration of cipher suites to limit encryption protocols and ensure compatible communication.
The project enables bidirectional, non-blocking data exchange between clients and servers. Its capabilities cover secure network communication and bandwidth optimization to facilitate real-time data exchange.
Features
- Real-Time Communication Protocols - Implements a bidirectional, low-latency communication system based on the standard WebSocket protocol.
- WebSocket Clients and Servers - Provides a complete Java toolkit for implementing both the client and server sides of the WebSocket protocol.
- WebSocket Servers - Provides a framework for hosting WebSocket servers that manage persistent, bidirectional communication channels.
- WebSockets - Enables non-blocking, bidirectional, event-driven data exchange between clients and servers.
- Non-Blocking Socket I/O - Utilizes non-blocking socket I/O to manage multiple concurrent connections without freezing execution threads.
- WebSocket Clients - Offers a client implementation for establishing and managing bidirectional connections to remote WebSocket servers.
- Secure Network Communication - Provides encrypted data transmission using the WSS protocol to secure network communication.
- TLS Traffic Encryption - Secures communication channels using TLS encryption to protect data during transit.
- WebSocket Security - Supports secure communication using the WSS protocol and certificate management to protect data streams.
- Event-Driven Callbacks - Provides an event-driven callback architecture to handle network events and protocol state changes.
- Per-Message Deflate Extensions - Reduces transmitted data size by applying per-message deflate compression to individual WebSocket frames.
- WebSocket Compression Tools - Ships a set of tools for reducing transmitted WebSocket data size using per-message deflate extensions.
- Byte Stream Framing - Implements the decoding of binary streams into discrete frames according to WebSocket protocol specifications.
- WebSocket Frame Compression - Reduces bandwidth consumption by compressing individual WebSocket messages using deflate extensions.
- Handshake Upgrade Handlers - Handles the initial HTTP handshake and protocol upgrade to establish bidirectional WebSocket streams.
- WebSocket Payload Optimization - Improves performance by reducing the size of transmitted WebSocket messages through compression.
