## What it is
A Unity WebSocket plugin written in C# that provides a unified WebSocket client API across all Unity-supported platforms, including WebGL via jslib. It is distributed as a Unity package and supports Unity 2018.3+.

## Use cases
- add websocket networking to a Unity game
- connect a Unity WebGL build to a websocket server
- send and receive text or binary messages in Unity
- real-time multiplayer communication in Unity
- websocket client that works on all Unity platforms

## When to choose
- you need a single WebSocket API that works across Unity platforms including WebGL
- you want a simple, MIT-licensed Unity package installable via Package Manager

## When to avoid
- you need a full networking stack with matchmaking or transport abstraction beyond raw WebSocket
- your project does not use Unity

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: websocket, networking
- domain: web-development, cross-platform
