# Tungstenite
5 years ago
Lightweight stream-based WebSocket implementation for [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/).
```rust
use std::net::TcpListener;
use std::thread::spawn;
3 years ago
use tungstenite::accept;
/// A WebSocket echo server
fn main () {
let server = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:9001").unwrap();
for stream in server.incoming() {
spawn (move || {
let mut websocket = accept(stream.unwrap()).unwrap();
loop {
let msg = websocket.read_message().unwrap();
// We do not want to send back ping/pong messages.
if msg.is_binary() || msg.is_text() {
websocket.write_message(msg).unwrap();
}
}
});
}
}
```
Take a look at the examples section to see how to write a simple client/server.
**NOTE:** `tungstenite-rs` is more like a barebone to build reliable modern networking applications
using WebSockets. If you're looking for a modern production-ready "batteries included" WebSocket
library that allows you to efficiently use non-blocking sockets and do "full-duplex" communication,
take a look at [`tokio-tungstenite`](https://github.com/snapview/tokio-tungstenite).

Introduction
------------
This library provides an implementation of WebSockets,
[RFC6455](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455). It allows for both synchronous (like TcpStream)
and asynchronous usage and is easy to integrate into any third-party event loops including
5 years ago
[MIO](https://github.com/tokio-rs/mio). The API design abstracts away all the internals of the
WebSocket protocol but still makes them accessible for those who wants full control over the
network.
Why Tungstenite?
----------------
It's formerly WS2, the 2nd implementation of WS. WS2 is the chemical formula of
tungsten disulfide, the tungstenite mineral.
Features
--------
Tungstenite provides a complete implementation of the WebSocket specification.
TLS is supported on all platforms using native-tls or rustls available through the `native-tls`
and `rustls-tls` feature flags. By default **no TLS feature is activated**, so make sure you
use `native-tls` or `rustls-tls` feature if you need support of the TLS.
There is no support for permessage-deflate at the moment. It's planned.
Testing
-------
5 years ago
Tungstenite is thoroughly tested and passes the [Autobahn Test Suite](https://crossbar.io/autobahn/) for
WebSockets. It is also covered by internal unit tests as well as possible.
