Socket.io Client Java
This is a Java library for establishing real-time bidirectional communication with servers using the Socket.IO protocol. It functions as an event-driven communication client that allows Java applications to exchange named events and binary data with a remote server.
The library implements both WebSocket and HTTP long-polling transports, providing a fallback mechanism when WebSocket connections are unavailable. It supports namespace-based multiplexing to divide a single physical network connection into multiple logical channels for separating data streams.
The project covers a broad range of networking capabilities, including connection lifecycle management, request acknowledgments, and event-driven callback registries. It includes security features for SSL/TLS configuration and the passing of authentication credentials during the connection handshake. For observability, it provides global packet interception and debug log capture.
