Tornado
Python web framework and asynchronous networking library built for high concurrency
ws
A zero-allocation Go library for building fast, low-level RFC 6455 WebSocket servers and clients.
sockjs-client
Browser WebSocket emulation library that automatically falls back across streaming and polling transports for reliable realtime connections.
stompjs
A JavaScript and TypeScript STOMP client for connecting browsers and Node.js apps to WebSocket message brokers.
python-engineio
Python implementation of the Engine.IO realtime transport protocol powering Socket.IO servers and clients.
