µWS ("microWS") is simple and efficient messaging for the modern web.

• Fancy pants details & user manual

Express yourself briefly.

uWS::App app; // or uWS::SSLApp(options) for SSL

app.onGet("/", [](auto *res, auto *req, auto *args) {

    /* Respond with the web app on default route */
    res->writeStatus("200 OK")
       ->writeHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8")
       ->end(indexHtmlBuffer);
    
}).onWebSocket<UserData>("/ws/chat", [&](auto *ws, auto *req, auto *args) {

    /* Subscribe to topic /chat */
    ws->subscribe("/chat");
    
}).onMessage([&](auto *ws, auto message, auto opCode) {

    /* Parse incoming message according to some protocol & publish it */
    if (seemsReasonable(message)) {
        ws->publish("/chat", message);
    } else {
        ws->close();
    }
    
}).onClose([&](auto *ws, int code, auto message) {

    /* Remove websocket from this topic */
    ws->unsubscribe("/chat");
    
}).listen("localhost", 3000, 0);
