WebSocket template

This project is meant to provide an example of how to implement a javascript application that uses WebSockets. Here are some things to know:

• the application is comprised of a client program and server program. the client is static javascript, and the server is a nodejs application.
• there are two implementation approaches here:
  1. Using the javascript WebSocket API and 'ws' node package
  2. Using socket.io client and server libraries (github repo)
• the ws implementation is in websocket-server-ws
• the socket.io implementation is in websocket-server-socketio
• both implementations also show how to encrypt the websocket connection with SSL
• the example implementation shows a webpage that renders the position of each connected client's mouse cursor on a canvas.
