y-websocket is a WebSocket provider for Yjs that enables real-time collaboration over WebSocket connections. It is similar to @hocuspocus/provider in that it facilitates the synchronization of Yjs documents across clients. However, @hocuspocus/provider offers additional features such as awareness states and a more flexible API for handling connections and events.
ShareDB is a real-time database backend based on Operational Transformation (OT) that allows for collaborative editing. While it provides similar real-time collaboration capabilities, it uses a different algorithm (OT vs. CRDT) and is not specifically designed to work with Yjs. ShareDB is more focused on providing a backend for real-time applications, whereas @hocuspocus/provider is tailored for use with Yjs and CRDTs.
Automerge is a library for building collaborative applications using CRDTs. Like @hocuspocus/provider, it enables real-time collaboration, but it is a more general-purpose CRDT library that does not include built-in networking capabilities. Developers need to implement their own networking layer to synchronize changes between clients.
