So, you want to start building realtime event driven applications using the new HTML5 WebSocket API?

  • You want it to work in all browsers, no matter if they have WebSocket support or not
  • You don't want to rely on proprietary technology such as Flash to provide a fallback
  • And naturally, you don't want to write more than one implementation

Introducing, the Graceful WebSocket

  • Implements the w3c WebSocket interface
  • Wraps the native WebSocket if support is detected
  • Provides a default fallback using traditional AJAX polling over HTTP
  • Requires no extra code on the frontend, allows you to target the WebSocket API today and let users take advantage of it as more browsers add support.
  • Default fallback behavior can be overridden by plugin options
