This repository contains a Socket.IO client implementation written in Java language. If you don't know about socket.io, it's basically a framework that aims to provide real-time, bidirectional and event-based communication. You can head over to socket.io website to learn more about it.
You can install this library using the following:
Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.haruntuncay</groupId>
<artifactId>socket.io-client</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
</dependency>
Gradle:
compile group: "com.github.haruntuncay", name: "socket.io-client", version: "1.1"
This library uses socketio_client.Socket instances to expose its client api.
You can get an instance of one through socketio_client.IO builder class.
A basic example:
// Create and configure the socket instance.
Socket socket = IO.of("http://localhost:3000/")
.socket();
// Register for available callbacks.
socket.on(Socket.CONNECT, argv -> {...});
socket.on("eventName", argv -> {...});
// Open the connection.
socket.open();
// Emit "eventName" to server event with "hello" as data.
socket.emit("eventName", "hello");
Check out the wiki for a detailed explanation on usage and api of this library.
