IXWebSocket is a C++ library for client and server Websocket communication, and for client and server HTTP communication. TLS aka SSL is supported. The code is derived from easywsclient and from the Satori C SDK . It has been tested on the following platforms. macOS iOS Linux Android Windows FreeBSD Example code // Required on Windows ix::initNetSystem(); // Our websocket object ix::WebSocket webSocket; std::string url(\"ws://localhost:8080/\"); webSocket.setUrl(url); // Setup a callback to be fired when a message or an event (open, close, error) is received webSocket.setOnMessageCallback([](const ix::WebSocketMessagePtr& msg) { if (msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Message) { std::cout << msg->str << std::endl; } } ); // Now that our callback is setup, we can start our background thread and receive messages webSocket.start(); // Send a message to the server (default to TEXT mode) webSocket.send(\"hello world\"); Why another library? There are 2 main reasons that explain why IXWebSocket got written. First, we needed a C++ cross-platform client library, which should have few dependencies. What looked like the most solid one, websocketpp did depend on boost and this was not an option for us. Secondly, there were other available libraries with fewer dependencies (C ones), but they required calling an explicit poll routine periodically to know if a client had received data from a server, which was not elegant. We started by solving those 2 problems, then we added server websocket code, then an HTTP client, and finally a very simple HTTP server. IXWebSocket comes with a command line utility named ws which is quite handy, and is now packaged with alpine linux. You can install it with apk add ws . Few dependencies (only zlib) Simple to use ; uses std::string and std::function callbacks. Complete support of the websocket protocol, and basic http support.
