A Go implementation of the Socket.IO realtime application framework, supporting Socket.IO client protocol version 1.4 with rooms, namespaces, and broadcast. It includes an engine.io sub-package that can be used independently, but the repository is now archived in favor of a fork.

Use cases

• add realtime websocket communication to a Go server
• implement socket.io-compatible backend in golang
• broadcast messages to rooms of connected clients
• build a chat server with namespaces in Go
• use engine.io transport directly in a Go app

When to choose

• you need Socket.IO 1.4 protocol compatibility in a Go backend
• you want rooms, namespaces, and broadcast out of the box
• you only need the engine.io transport layer in Go

When to avoid

• you need Socket.IO v2/v3/v4 protocol support
• you want an actively maintained library - this repo is archived
• you need guaranteed bug fixes or new features
