websockets
Introduction
Provides a sensible, clean and simple way to write WebSocket-capable servers in Haskell.
The following program echoes messages back after appending meow:
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Control.Monad (forever)
import qualified Data.Text as T
import qualified Network.WebSockets as WS
meow :: WS.Connection -> IO ()
meow conn = forever $ do
msg <- WS.receiveData conn
WS.sendTextData conn $ msg `T.append` ", meow"
Installation is provided using cabal:
$ cabal install websockets
Authors
An initial WebSockets library was written in 2010 by Siniša Biđin. In 2011, it was rewritten from scratch, and extended to its current state by Jasper Van der Jeugt, who is also the current maintainer.

Development
Pull requests are always welcome!
This library is production-quality. Therefore we have very high standards in terms of code style, API quality and testing.
We have three kinds of tests:
- Haskell-based tests (
tests/haskell), which use thetest-frameworklibrary - Integration tests, available in
tests/javascript. These require a browser to run. - We also run the extensive autobahn testsuite.
