noPoll (v.0.4.6.b389): a WebSocket (RFC6455) implementation. Documentation

noPoll: a toolkit to add WebSocket support to your project

noPoll is a clean implemetnation of the RFC 6455 : The Websocket protocol definition, written in ANSI C.

Some of its features are:

• Context based API design making the library stateless. Support to run several execution contexts in the same process.
• Support for stream based API and message based API (handler notified)
• Robust and well tested implementation checked by a strong regression test to ensure the library keeps on working as new features are added.
• Flexible design that allows its integration into a external loop or to use its own waiting loop
• Support for port share which allows running native protocol and WebSocket protocol on the same port.

noPoll has been developed by Advanced Software Production Line, S.L. (http://www.aspl.es). It is licensed under the LGPL 2.1 which allows open source and commercial usage.
