Limit size of received messageYesNo
Send pings and receive pongsYesNo
Send close messageYesNo
Read message using io.ReaderYesNo, see note
Write message using io.WriteCloserYesNo, see note
Encode, decode JSON messageYesYes

Note: The go.net io.Reader and io.Writer operate across WebSocket message boundaries. Read returns when the input buffer is full or a message boundary is encountered, Each call to Write sends a message. The Gorilla io.Reader and io.WriteCloser operate on a single WebSocket message.
