Websocket
WebSocket is a protocol that enables two-way persistent communication channels over TCP connections. It is used for applications such as chat, stock tickers, games, anywhere you want real-time functionality in a web application.
Iris websocket library is now merged with the neffos real-time framework and Iris-specific helpers and type aliases live on the iris/websocket subpackage. Learn neffos from its wiki.
Helpers and type aliases improves your code speed when writing a websocket module.
For example, instead of importing both kataras/iris/websocket - in order to use its websocket.Handler - and github.com/kataras/neffos - to create a new websocket server neffos.New - you can use the websocket.New instead, another example is the neffos.Conn which can be declared as websocket.Conn.
All neffos and its subpackage's types and package-level functions exist as type aliases on the kataras/iris/websocket package too, there are too many of those and there is no need to write each one of those here, some common types:
