Module Protocols.SocketIO
- Description
This is an implementation of the Socket.IO server-side communication's driver. It basically is a real-time bidirectional object-oriented communication's protocol for communicating between a webbrowser and a server.
This module supports the following features:
- Passing any arbitrarily deep nested data object
which can be represented in basic JavaScript datatypes.
- In addition to the normal JavaScript datatypes, it also
supports passing (nested) binary blobs in an efficient manner.
- Every message/event sent, allows for a callback acknowledge
to be specified.
- Acknowledge callbacks which will be called when the other side
actively decides to acknowledge it (not automatically upon message reception).
- Acknowledgement messages can carry an arbitrary amount of
data.
The driver uses Protocols.EngineIO as the underlying protocol.
