WebSockets

A WebSocket client implementation.

The WebSocket type

The WebSocket type manages the WebSocket connection. Use it to connect, send, and receive data. To customize the WebSocket handshake, use a WebSocketBuilder (obtained from the WebSocket::builder() method).

See the WebSocket type for examples on how to use it.

Frames

Data is sent and received through Frames. If you have a constructed frame you would like to send, you can use the WebSocket::send() method; however, there are also convenience methods for each frame type (send_text(), send_binary(), close(), send_ping(), and send_pong()).

If you have received a Frame from which you would like to extract the data, you can use the convenience methods as_text(), as_binary(), as_close(), as_ping(), and as_pong() (and their mut counterparts), or simply match.
