Features

• Realtime Communication Protocols - Implements the Socket.IO protocol for establishing persistent, bidirectional data exchange between clients and servers.
• Socket.IO Server Implementations - Implements the Socket.IO protocol in Go to enable real-time bidirectional communication between servers and clients.
• Bidirectional Streams - Establishes full-duplex message exchange patterns enabling simultaneous streaming between servers and clients over a single connection.
• Distributed Socket Server Scaling - Scales real-time connections across multiple server instances using a message queue for coordinated broadcasting.
• Named Event Transmissions - Enables sending and receiving custom named events with arbitrary data payloads between clients and servers in real time.
• Broadcast Messaging - Sends data to all connected clients or specific subsets of users within a room for simultaneous updates.
• Namespace-Based Communication - Implements logical partitioning of communication channels into namespaces to isolate traffic and middleware within a single connection.
• Targeted Client Group Messaging - Sends events to specific subsets of connected clients organized into named rooms.
• Connection Lifecycle Events - Provides event-driven notifications for connection state transitions such as open, close, and error events.
• Namespace Multiplexing - Isolates communication channels on a single socket using named namespaces to separate event handlers.
• Persistent Full-Duplex Connections - Maintains persistent full-duplex links between clients and servers to exchange data continuously without repeated network requests.
• Room-Based Client Grouping - Organizes connected clients into named rooms to enable targeted broadcasting of messages to specific subsets of users.
• Real-Time Messaging - Provides a library and protocol for persistent, bidirectional communication between servers and clients.
• Remote Server Connectivity - Initiates and maintains persistent connections from clients to remote server endpoints via transport layer management.
• Named Event Dispatchers - Dispatches network events identified by string names to registered listener functions.
• Distributed Pub-Sub Adapters - Provides a distributed pub/sub adapter to synchronize events across multiple server instances for horizontal scaling.
• Network Packet Dispatchers - Maps incoming network packets to specific handler functions based on event identifiers to execute application logic.
• Event-to-Function Mappings - Binds incoming network events to specific executable handler functions to drive server-side application logic.
• Event-Driven Messaging Systems - Provides an architecture for responding to real-time data streams and user triggers through named events.
• Real-Time Communication - Enables persistent, bidirectional data streaming between clients and servers for real-time updates.
• Real-Time Data Streaming - Provides an implementation of the Socket.IO protocol for real-time, bidirectional data streaming between servers and clients.
• Real-Time Frameworks - Provides a framework for persistent bidirectional communication and live data broadcasting via WebSockets and long-polling.
• Connection Context Storage - Associates persistent state and metadata with individual network connections for use across multiple event handlers.
• Transport Negotiators - Automatically negotiates and switches between long-polling and websockets to maintain reliable bidirectional communication.
• Connection Lifecycle Managers - Tracks active network sockets and manages session durations, including logic for client connections and disconnections.
• Reliable Transport Management - Coordinates connection setup and data framing to ensure reliable message delivery regardless of the underlying protocol.
• Connection Addressing - Assigns unique session identifiers and network addresses to connections to facilitate targeted messaging to specific clients.
• Communication Channel Isolation - Separates network connections into isolated logical channels to partition application logic for different user groups.
• Client Acknowledgment Callbacks - Implements a bidirectional request-response pattern using unique IDs to track and trigger callbacks upon client receipt.
• Messaging Systems - Socket.io framework for real-time apps.
