Websockets.Universal 1.0.1

Websockets.Standard

Websockets.Standard is a .Net Standard class library that wraps around different WebSocket implementations.

This project originated from WebSocket.PCL

Feel free to make an issue/pull request to support more library's/platforms

Platforms

• Android (Native coming soon)
• IOS (SocketRocket coming soon)
• UWP
• .NET Framework (2.0 and up)
• .NET Standard/Core (1.3 and up)
• WP8 (dropped because silverlight is not .net standard/VS 2017 compatible)

NuGet

• Websockets.Standard (include in your library/common app)
• .NET (.Net 4.5+, Standard 1.3+, Universal)
• WebSocket4Net (.Net Standard 1.3+, mono, .NET 2.0+)

Advantages

With Websocket.Standard you can easily switch between implementations per platform or even at runtime!! Don't know wich websocket to use? Just try them one-by-one by changing one line and see wich suits you best! Are you missing a common websocket library, make an issue and tell us which you need!

Usage

        void Configure()
        {
            // Call in your specific platform startup
            // 1) Link at startup before socket creation
            Websockets.Net.WebsocketConnection.Link();
        }
        
        
        void Connect()
        {
            // 2) Get a websocket from the standard library via the factory
            connection = Websockets.WebSocketFactory.Create();
            connection.OnOpened += Connection_OnOpened;
            connection.OnMessage += Connection_OnMessage;
        }

        void Send()
        {            
            connection.Open("http://echo.websocket.org");
            connection.Send("Hello World");
        }

        private void Connection_OnOpened()
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("Opened !");
        }

        private void Connection_OnMessage(string obj)
        {
            Echo = obj == "Hello World";
        }

Special Setups

.NET Standard/PCL library

• Include the Websockets.Standard library only, and don't link anything leave that to the platforms to choose

Xamarin Forms

• Include the Websockets.Standard library in the main common app
• Include the platform specific library in the platform projects

Windows 8 Phone

• Fork or download source
• Change Websocket4Net version to add silverlight support and compile with VS 2015
• Include Websockets.Websocket4Net and Websockets.Standard library

Example

There are a few 'test' examples (projects with the Tests suffix). Take a look there. They use a common library, the platforms just include the library and link the right implementation.

TODO

• Support multiple factories/implementation in one app
• Support Native Android (port from old project)
• Support Ios SocketRocket (port from old project)
• Support other platforms/libraries.

Questions?

Make an issue and i will try answer asap.
