Rust-WebSocket is a WebSocket (RFC6455) library written in Rust.

Note that this particular library is based on obsolete dependencies (Hyper 0.10, Tokio 0.1), so is a poor choice for new projects. You are adviced to use other Websocket libraries.

Rust-WebSocket provides a framework for dealing with WebSocket connections (both clients and servers). The library is currently in an experimental state, but provides functionality for both normal and secure WebSockets, a message level API supporting fragmentation, a data frame level API, and the ability to extend and customize behaviour.

To add a library release version fromcrates.io to a Cargo project, add this to the 'dependencies' section of your Cargo.toml:

websocket ="0.24.0"

To add the library's Git repository to a Cargo project, add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies.websocket]git ="https://github.com/websockets-rs/rust-websocket.git"

Optionally addextern crate websocket; to your project.

Note that0.24.0 is the last version ofrust-websocket that supports some very old Rust versions (I'm not sure which exactly, maybe 1.28).

The library can be compiled with tests and benches and some extra capabilities on Rust nightly. To enable the nightly features, usecargo --features nightly ....

See the documentation for the latest release of the libraryhere, and also the examples, which are located in/examples and can be run with:

cargo run --example server

And in a separate terminal:

cargo run --example client

The library can be tested usingcargo test to run tests andcargo bench to run bench tests.

A number of tests are included, which ensure core WebSocket functionality works as expected. These tests are not yet comprehensive, and are still being worked on.

Rust-WebSocket uses theAutobahn TestSuite to test conformance to RFC6455. If you have Autobahn TestSuite installed you can run these tests yourself using the commands:

wstest -m fuzzingservercargo run --example autobahn-client

To test the client implementation, and

wstest -m fuzzingclientcargo run --example autobahn-server

To test the server implementation. The spec files are availablehere.

The results of these tests are availablehere.

Before you make a PR be sure to run all the tests!
