Is it possible to use socket.io without node.js?

Question

标题几乎总结了一下...我想知道是否有一种方法可以在没有node.js的情况下使用socket.io

Answer 1

socket.io is a library that connects a browser web pages to some server somewhere. There MUST be a socket.io server somewhere that does what you want that you can connect to.

That socket.io server does not have to be written using node.js. There is socket.io support for other languages or environments. The protocol and data format is fully documented so implementations can be written for any environment. For example, here's a socket.io server implementation in C++ .

You can look on github for various server implementations: https://github.com/search?q=socket.io+server .
