Description-en: WebSocket emulation - Javascript client
SockJS is a browser JavaScript library that provides a WebSocket-like object.
SockJS gives you a coherent, cross-browser, Javascript API which creates a low
latency, full duplex, cross-domain communication channel between the browser
and the web server.
.
Under the hood SockJS tries to use native WebSockets first. If that fails it
can use a variety of browser-specific transport protocols and presents them
through WebSocket-like abstractions.
.
SockJS is intended to work for all modern browsers and in environments which
don't support WebSocket protocol, for example behind restrictive corporate
proxies.
