What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

A barebones WebSocket client and server library written in 100% Java, built on java.nio for a non-blocking, event-driven model. It implements the RFC 6455 and RFC 7692 WebSocket protocols and is distributed via Maven Central under the MIT license.

Use cases

implement a websocket server in java
connect to a websocket endpoint from a java application
add real-time bidirectional messaging to a jvm backend
handle wss secure websocket connections in java
build a lightweight event-driven socket server without a full framework

When to choose

you need a minimal, dependency-light WebSocket implementation on the JVM
you want direct control over the WebSocket lifecycle via subclassing
you need RFC 6455 and permessage-deflate (RFC 7692) support in Java

When to avoid

you need a full-featured framework with routing, sessions, and middleware
you are building a reactive or Spring-based stack with its own WebSocket support
you need client support outside the JVM
