NativeWebSocket is a dependency-free WebSocket client library for .NET that works in Unity, MonoGame, Godot (C#), and any other .NET project. It builds on the built-in System.Net.WebSockets API, adds WebGL/HTML5 support for Unity builds, and dispatches events back to the main thread via SynchronizationContext.

Use cases

• add websocket support to a Unity game
• websocket client for Godot C# projects
• use WebSockets in Unity WebGL browser builds
• c# websocket library with no external DLLs
• receive websocket messages on the main thread in a game engine
• connect a MonoGame game to a websocket server
• real-time messaging over websockets on Android and iOS with .NET

When to choose

• You need WebSockets in Unity, MonoGame, or Godot C# without external DLL dependencies
• You are targeting Unity WebGL builds where standard .NET websocket code needs conditional compilation
• You want websocket callbacks automatically marshaled to the engine's main thread
• You want a very small, simple client API (Connect, Send, SendText, Close) for game networking

When to avoid

• You need a full game networking stack with reliability, channels, or transport beyond raw WebSocket frames
• You are building a plain server-side or desktop .NET app where System.Net.WebSockets or SignalR already suffices
• You require a clearly verified license, since the repository license is marked as unverified (NOASSERTION)
