Websocket: Messages

If option return_obj is set to true on client or server, the receive() method will return a Message instance instead of a string.

Available classes correspond to opcode;

• WebSocket\Message\Text
• WebSocket\Message\Binary
• WebSocket\Message\Ping
• WebSocket\Message\Pong
• WebSocket\Message\Close

Additionally;

• WebSocket\Message\Message - abstract base class for all messages above
• WebSocket\Message\Factory - Factory class to create Message instances
