//! Async WebSocket usage.
//!
//! This library is an implementation of WebSocket handshakes and streams. It
//! is based on the crate which implements all required WebSocket protocol
//! logic. So this crate basically just brings tokio support / tokio integration
//! to it.
//!
//! Each WebSocket stream implements the required `Stream` and `Sink` traits,
//! so the socket is just a stream of messages coming in and going out.
//!
//! This crate primarily exports this ability through two extension traits,
//! `ClientHandshakeExt` and `ServerHandshakeExt`. These traits augment the
//! functionality provided by the `tungestenite` crate, on which this crate is
//! built. Configuration is done through `tungestenite` crate as well.
