WebSocket++ (0.3.x branch)
WebSocket++ is a header only C++ library that impliments RFC6455 The WebSocket Protocol. It allows C++ programs to impliment WebSocket client and server functionality. It uses interchangable network transport modules including one based on C++ iostreams and one based on Boost Asio.
*This branch is no longer "experimental". It represents the current edge release of the WebSocket++ library. The API of 0.3.x has some significant changes from 0.2.x, so care should be taken when upgrading.
This branch's API is relatively stable now. Features implimented so far are unlikely to change (except where explicitly noted). New features will be added regularly until parity with the 0.2 branch is reached.
This is the preferred branch for new projects, especially those that involve multithreaded servers. It is better tested and documented. The 0.3.x API will be the basis for the 1.0 release.*
