The Risks of Misguided Research in Supply Chain Security
Snyk's use of malicious npm packages for research raises ethical concerns, highlighting risks in public deployment, data exfiltration, and unauthorized testing.

websocket is a minimal and idiomatic WebSocket library for Go.
go get nhooyr.io/websocket
For a production quality example that demonstrates the complete API, see the echo example.
For a full stack example, see the chat example.
http.HandlerFunc(func (w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
c, err := websocket.Accept(w, r, nil)
if err != nil {
// ...
}
defer c.Close(websocket.StatusInternalError, "the sky is falling")
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(r.Context(), time.Second*10)
defer cancel()
var v interface{}
err = wsjson.Read(ctx, c, &v)
if err != nil {
// ...
}
log.Printf("received: %v", v)
c.Close(websocket.StatusNormalClosure, "")
})
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Minute)
defer cancel()
c, _, err := websocket.Dial(ctx, "ws://localhost:8080", nil)
if err != nil {
// ...
}
defer c.Close(websocket.StatusInternalError, "the sky is falling")
err = wsjson.Write(ctx, c, "hi")
if err != nil {
// ...
}
c.Close(websocket.StatusNormalClosure, "")
Advantages of gorilla/websocket:
Advantages of nhooyr.io/websocket:
golang.org/x/net/websocket is deprecated. See golang/go/issues/18152.
The net.Conn can help in transitioning to nhooyr.io/websocket.
gobwas/ws has an extremely flexible API that allows it to be used in an event driven style for performance. See the author's blog post.
However when writing idiomatic Go, nhooyr.io/websocket will be faster and easier to use.
