⚡ Simple performance

µWebSockets.js is a web server bypass for Node.js that reimplements eventing, networking, encryption, web protocols, routing and pub/sub in highly optimized C++. As such, µWebSockets.js delivers web serving for Node.js, 8.5x that of Fastify and at least 10x that of Socket.IO. It is also the built-in web server of Bun.

  message: (ws, message, isBinary) => {
    /* You can do app.publish('sensors/home/temperature', '22C') kind of pub/sub as well */
    
    /* Here we echo the message back, using compression if available */
    let ok = ws.send(message, isBinary, true);

  /* It does Http as well */
  res.writeStatus('200 OK').writeHeader('IsExample', 'Yes').end('Hello there!');

  if (listenSocket) {
    console.log('Listening to port 9001');
  }
