A Swift client library for connecting iOS, macOS, and other Apple-platform apps to Socket.IO servers. It supports Socket.IO server 2.x through 4.x, binary payloads, polling and WebSocket transports, and TLS/SSL.

Use cases

• connect an iOS app to a Socket.IO server for realtime chat
• receive live updates over WebSockets in a Swift app
• emit events with acknowledgements to a Socket.IO backend
• stream binary data between an Apple client and a Socket.IO server
• add realtime messaging to an iOS or macOS application

When to choose

• your Swift/iOS app needs to talk to a Socket.IO server
• you need Socket.IO features like acks, rooms, and binary support on Apple platforms
• you want a mature, widely used client with SPM/CocoaPods/Carthage support

When to avoid

• your backend does not use Socket.IO (use a plain WebSocket client)
• you need a client for Android, web, or non-Apple platforms
• you need a Swift/NIO server-side Socket.IO implementation
