## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: websocket, http-server, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend
- platform: go, windows, cross-platform
- tags: socket.io, realtime, engine.io, archived, rooms, broadcast, namespaces, real-time, messaging, linux, macos
