| RFC 6455 Features | ||
| Passes Autobahn Test Suite | Yes | No |
| Receive fragmented message | Yes | No, see note 1 |
| Send close message | Yes | No |
| Send pings and receive pongs | Yes | No |
| Get the type of a received data message | Yes | Yes, see note 2 |
| Other Features | ||
| Compression Extensions | Experimental | No |
| Read message using io.Reader | Yes | No, see note 3 |
| Write message using io.WriteCloser | Yes | No, see note 3 |
Notes:
- Large messages are fragmented in Chrome's new WebSocket implementation.
- The application can get the type of a received data message by implementing a Codec marshal function.
- The go.net io.Reader and io.Writer operate across WebSocket frame boundaries. Read returns when the input buffer is full or a frame boundary is encountered. Each call to Write sends a single frame message. The Gorilla io.Reader and io.WriteCloser operate on a single WebSocket message.
