Gorilla WebSocket

Gorilla WebSocket is a Go implementation of the WebSocket protocol.

The Gorilla WebSocket package provides a complete and tested implementation of the WebSocket protocol. The package API is stable.

go get github.com/gorilla/websocket

The Gorilla WebSocket package passes the server tests in the Autobahn WebSockets Test Suite using the application in the examples/autobahn subdirectory.

	gorilla	go.net
Protocol support	RFC 6455	RFC 6455, see notes
Limit size of received message	Yes	No
Send pings and receive pongs	Yes	No
Send close message	Yes	No
Read message using io.Reader	Yes	No, see notes
Write message using io.WriteCloser	Yes	No, see notes
Encode, decode JSON message	Yes	Yes

Notes:

The go.net package does not handle fragmented messages.
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.
