Socket.IO server implemented on Java. Realtime java framework

README at capture

Netty-socketio Overview
===
This project is an open-source Java implementation of [Socket.IO](http://socket.io/) server. Based on [Netty](http://netty.io/) server framework.  

Licensed under the Apache License 2.0.


Features
================================
* __1.x - 4.x__ version of [Socket.IO-client](https://github.com/socketio/socket.io) is supported
* Supports xhr-polling transport  
* Supports websocket transport  
* Supports namespaces and rooms  
* Supports ack (acknowledgment of received data)  
* Supports SSL  
* Supports client store ([Redisson](https://redisson.pro), Hazelcast, Memory)  
* Supports distributed broadcast across netty-socketio nodes ([Redisson](https://redisson.pro), Hazelcast)  
* Supports OSGi  
* Supports Spring  
* Contains Java module info for JPMS. 
* Lock-free and thread-safe implementation  
* Declarative handler configuration via annotations  

JAR is compatible with Java 8 but needs Java 11+ for building the module-info.

### Maven 

Include the following to your dependency list:
```xml
    <dependency>
     <groupId>com.corundumstudio.socketio</groupId>
     <artifactId>netty-socketio</artifactId>
     <version>2.0.13</version>
    </dependency>
```

Performance
================================

Customer feedback in __2012__:  
CentOS, 1 CPU, 4GB RAM runned on VM: 
CPU 10%, Memory 15%  
6000 xhr-long polling sessions or 15000 websockets sessions  
4000 messages per second  


Customer feedback in __2014__:  
"To stress test the solution we run 30 000 simultaneous websocket clients and managed to peak at total of about 140 000 messages per second with less than 1 second average delay." (c) Viktor Endersz - Kambi Sports Solutions
