The original source can be found at: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-websocket/ I have added some fixes and deployed it and take no credit for the initial implementation.
This plug-in is used to send and receive the JSON object directly with Web Sockets API.
var ws = $.websocket("ws://127.0.0.1:8080/");ws.send('hello'); // sending message is '{type:'hello'}'.
ws.send('say', {name:'foo', text:'baa'}); // sending message is '{type:'say', data:{name:'foo', text:'baa'}}'var ws = $.websocket("ws://127.0.0.1:8080/", {
open: function() { ... },
close: function() { ... },
events: {
say: function(e) {
alert(e.data.name); // 'foo'
alert(e.data.text); // 'baa'
}
}
