Similar packages

Other packages similar to socket.io-client

ws

The 'ws' package is a simple to use, blazing fast, and thoroughly tested WebSocket client and server implementation. Unlike socket.io-client, which provides an abstraction over WebSocket with additional features like auto-reconnection, 'ws' is a bare WebSocket implementation.

faye-websocket

Faye is a set of tools for simple publish-subscribe messaging between web clients. It's similar to socket.io-client in that it provides an abstraction over WebSocket for real-time communication, but it has a different API and feature set.

sockjs-client

SockJS-client 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, with WebSockets or without. It is similar to socket.io-client but focuses more on providing fallback options for environments where WebSocket is not available.
