socketio.objc

socket.io v1.0.0+ for iOS and OS X

Why?

Socket.IO v1.0.0 is a major refactoring of the popular real-time framework. Unfortunatelly the communication protocal has changed drastically, thus most of the existing obj-c library won't work with v1.0.0.

This project is aimed for a near 1:1 port of the official framework. Including engine.io, which is the foundation of socket.io.

Goals / Progress

• [done] engine.io-parser with official test suite
• [almost done] engine.io-client with official test suite
• [done] socket.io-parser with official test suite
• socket.io-client with official test suite
