# SIO Client
|
|
This SIO client is depends on [websocket++](https://github.com/zaphoyd/websocketpp) and [rapidjson](https://github.com/miloyip/rapidjson), it provides another C++ client implementation for [Socket.IO](https://github.com/Automattic/socket.io).
|
|
This library is able to connect to a Socket.IO server 1.0, and the initial thought of writing it is inspired by the [socket.io-clientpp](https://github.com/ebshimizu/socket.io-clientpp) project.
|
|
|
|
## Socket.IO 1.0+ protocol has been implemented!
|
|
The code is compatible with 1.0+ protocol only, not with prior protocols.
|
|
|
|
## C++11 only for now
|
|
C++11 saves much time for me, so this is C++11 only for the first version.
|
|
I'll do further compatibility efforts on demand.
|
|
|
|
## Supported features
|
|
1. Internal thread manangement.
|
|
2. Sends plain text messages.
|
|
3. Sends binary messages.
|
|
4. Sends structured messages with text and binary all together.
|
|
5. Sends messages with an ack and its corresponding callback.
|
|
6. Receives messages and automatically sends customable ack if need.
|
|
7. Automatically ping/pong messages and timeout management.
|
|
8. Reconnection.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
1. Make sure you have the boost libararies installed.
|
|
2. Include websocket++, rapidjson and `sio_client.cpp`,`sio_packet.cpp` in your project.
|
|
3. Include `sio_client.h` where you want to use it.
|
|
4. Use `message` and its derived classes to compose complex text/binary messages.
|
|
|
|
## Boost build instructions
|
|
Only a subset of boost is needed for this project.You can setup your boost environment as following:
|
|
1. Download boost from [boost.org](http://www.boost.org/).(suppose we downloaded boost 1.55.0)
|
|
2. Unpack boost to some place.(such as D:\boost_1_55_0)
|
|
3. Run either .\bootstrap.bat (on Windows), or ./bootstrap.sh (on other operating systems) under boost folder(D:\boost_1_55_0).
|
|
4. Run ./b2 install --prefix=PREFIX
|
|
where PREFIX is a directory where you want Boost.Build to be installed.
|
|
5. Optionally, add PREFIX/bin to your PATH environment variable.
|
|
6. Build needed boost modules, with following command line as an example:
|
|
For Windows:
|
|
bjam stage --toolset=msvc --with-system --with-date_time --with-thread --with-regex --with-serialization --with-random --stagedir="D:\boost_1_55_0\boost_build\release" link=static runtime-link=shared threading=multi release
|
|
For iOS
|
|
bjam -j16 --with-system --with-date_time --with-thread --with-regex --with-serialization --with-random --build-dir=iphone-build --stagedir=iphone-build/stage --prefix=$PREFIXDIR toolset=darwin architecture=arm target-os=iphone macosx-version=iphone-`${IPHONE_SDKVERSION}` define=_LITTLE_ENDIAN link=static stage
|
|
For Mac OSX
|
|
b2 -j16 --with-system --with-date_time --with-thread --with-regex --with-serialization --with-random --build-dir=osx-build --stagedir=osx-build/stage toolset=clang cxxflags="-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -arch i386 -arch x86_64" linkflags="-stdlib=libc++" link=static threading=multi stage
|
|
7. Add boost source folder to `header search path`, and add static libs to link option.

sio client specific source is released under the BSD license.
