RFC 6455 Features
Passes Autobahn Test SuiteYesNo
Receive fragmented messageYesNo
Send close messageYesNo
Send pings and receive pongsYesNo
Other Features
Limit size of received 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 frame boundaries. Read returns when the input buffer is full or a frame boundary is encountered, Each call to Write sends a single frame message. The Gorilla io.Reader and io.WriteCloser operate on a single WebSocket message.
