About This Project

The ws project implements the WebSocket standard in Java. It provides a WebSocket client API that enables developers to build Java applications that communicate over WebSocket with an RFC-6455 endpoint, such as KAAZING Gateway.

Developers can include the Java WebSocket Client using the following maven dependency to develop and run web applications:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.kaazing</groupId>
    <artifactId>gateway.client.java</artifactId>
    <version>[5.1.0.0,5.2.0.0)</version>
</dependency>
