ezsockets

Creating a WebSocket server or a client in Rust can be troublesome. This crate facilitates this process by providing:

• Traits to allow declarative and event-based programming.
• Easy concurrency with Tokio and async/await. Server sessions are Clone'able and can be shared between tasks.
• Heartbeat mechanism to keep the connection alive.
• Automatic reconnection of WebSocket Clients.
• Support for arbitrary client back-ends, with built-in native and WASM client connectors.
• Support for multiple server back-ends such as Axum or Tungstenite.
• TLS support for servers with rustls and native-tls.

Examples

• simple-client - a simplest WebSocket client which uses stdin as input.
• echo-server - server that echoes back every message it receives.
• echo-server - same as echo-server, but with native-tls.
• counter-server - server that increments global value every second and shares it with client
• chat-client - chat client for chat-server and chat-server-axum examples
• wasm-client - chat client for chat-server and chat-server-axum examples that runs in the browser (only listens to the chat)
• chat-server - chat server with support of rooms
• chat-server-axum - same as above, but using axum as a back-end

Client

By default clients use tokio-tungstenite under the hood. Disable default features and enable wasm_client to run clients on WASM targets.

See examples/simple-client for a simple usage and docs.rs/ezsockets/server for documentation.

Server

WebSocket server can use one of the supported back-ends:

• tokio-tungstenite - the simplest way to get started.
• axum - ergonomic and modular web framework built with Tokio, Tower, and Hyper
• actix-web - Work in progress at #22

See examples/echo-server for a simple usage and docs.rs/ezsockets/server for documentation.
