SockJS Alternatives
SockJS is described as 'browser JavaScript library that provides a WebSocket-like object. SockJS gives you a coherent, cross-browser, Js API which creates a low latency, full duplex, cross-domain communication channel between the browser and the web server' and is an app in the development category. There are five alternatives to SockJS for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, JavaScript and Node.JS. The best alternative is Socket.io, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like SockJS are Faye, Primus, UbSub and SocketCluster.
Socket.IO aims to make real-time apps possible in every browser and mobile device, blurring the differences between the different transport mechanisms.
