websocket-lite

CI

This repo contains three crates:

  • websocket-lite, a fast, low-overhead async WebSocket client
  • websocket-codec, a Tokio codec implementation of the WebSocket protocol
  • hyper-websocket-lite, bindings between a hyper server and websocket-codec

websocket-lite

Documentation | Source

This crate is optimised for receiving a high volume of messages over a long period. A key feature is that it makes no memory allocations once the connection is set up and the initial messages have been sent and received; it reuses a single pair of buffers, which are sized for the longest message seen so far.

This crate provides sync and async, tokio-based functionality. The ssl-native-tls, ssl-rustls-native-roots and ssl-rustls-webpki-roots feature flags provide the TLS functionality for wss://... servers.

This crate is fully conformant with the fuzzingserver module in the Autobahn test suite.

websocket-codec

Documentation | Source

This is a standalone crate that does not do any I/O directly. For a full WebSocket client, see the websocket-lite crate.

hyper-websocket-lite

Documentation | Source

Provides the server_upgrade function, which bridges a client's HTTP Upgrade request to the WebSocket protocol.
