## What it is
An AngularJS 1.x WebSocket service module for connecting client applications to servers. It provides a $websocket factory with a data-stream API for sending and receiving messages in Angular apps.

## Use cases
- connect an angularjs app to a websocket server
- real-time data streaming in angular 1.x
- send and receive websocket messages from the browser
- live updates in an angularjs frontend
- wrap websocket connections as an angular service

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy AngularJS 1.x application that needs WebSocket connectivity
- you want a simple promise/data-stream wrapper around the browser WebSocket API

## When to avoid
- you are using Angular 2+ or any modern framework - this module targets AngularJS 1.x only
- you need an actively maintained library - the last release was in 2018

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: websocket, http-client
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: angularjs, websocket-client, legacy-angular, real-time, nodejs
