websocket-lite and websocket-codec

This repo contains two crates:

• websocket-lite, a fast, low-overhead WebSocket client
• websocket-codec, a Tokio codec implementation of the WebSocket protocol

websocket-lite

Documentation

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.

You can use this crate in both asynchronous (futures-based) and synchronous code. native_tls provides the TLS functionality for wss://... servers.

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

websocket-codec

Documentation

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

async/await

As of October 2019, the master branch builds against Rust nightly, and is expected to build against Rust stable 1.40. It currently references futures-preview = "0.3.0-alpha.19" and tokio = "0.2.0-alpha.6".
