This project is an open-source Java implementation of Socket.IO server. Based on Netty server framework.
Licensed under the Apache License 2.0.
- 1.x - 4.x version of Socket.IO-client is supported
- Supports xhr-polling transport
- Supports websocket transport
- Supports namespaces and rooms
- Supports ack (acknowledgment of received data)
- Supports SSL
- Supports client store (Memory, Redisson, Hazelcast)
- Supports distributed broadcast across netty-socketio nodes (Redisson, Hazelcast)
- Supports OSGi
- Supports Spring
- Contains Java module info for JPMS.
- Lock-free and thread-safe implementation
- Declarative handler configuration via annotations
JAR is compatible with Java 8 but needs Java 11+ for building the module-info.
Customer feedback in 2012:
CentOS, 1 CPU, 4GB RAM runned on VM:
CPU 10%, Memory 15%
6000 xhr-long polling sessions or 15000 websockets sessions
4000 messages per second
Customer feedback in 2014:
"To stress test the solution we run 30 000 simultaneous websocket clients and managed to peak at total of about 140 000 messages per second with less than 1 second average delay." (c) Viktor Endersz - Kambi Sports Solutions
