WebSocket API

WebSockets standard is defined by W3. The API interface for WebSockets looks like this:

enum BinaryType { "blob", "arraybuffer" };

[Constructor(DOMString url, optional (DOMString or DOMString[]) protocols), Exposed=Window,Worker]

interface WebSocket : EventTarget {

  readonly attribute DOMString url;

  // ready state

  const unsigned short CONNECTING = 0;
  const unsigned short OPEN = 1;
  const unsigned short CLOSING = 2;
  const unsigned short CLOSED = 3;
  readonly attribute unsigned short readyState;
  readonly attribute unsigned long bufferedAmount;

  // networking

           attribute EventHandler onopen;
           attribute EventHandler onerror;
           attribute EventHandler onclose;
  readonly attribute DOMString extensions;
  readonly attribute DOMString protocol;

  void close([Clamp] optional unsigned short code, optional DOMString reason);

  // messaging
           attribute EventHandler onmessage;
           attribute BinaryType...
