[ANN] clj-wamp : a WebSocket sub-protocol for HTTP Kit

[Christopher Martin]

Hi all, 

I've been working on a WebSocket project recently while learning Clojure, and thought I'd share my port of the WAMP spec (for use with HTTP Kit).

WAMP is an open WebSocket subprotocol that provides two asynchronous messaging patterns: RPC and PubSub.

See the project README.md for installation & usage instructions:

https://github.com/cgmartin/clj-wamp

An example site, with live chat and RPC demos, API docs:

http://cljwamp.us

Example site source:

https://github.com/cgmartin/clj-wamp-example

The code has stabilized enough to release as beta, but I'll warn you that it's still under development. 

Next up is to try integrating with Aleph, and port the JavaScript WAMP client to ClojureScript.

Cheers,

~Christopher Martin

Excellent job Christopher. The examples look great and so does the rest of the documentation. A tutorial or walk-through of one of the examples would be great.

Cheers

Martin,

Thanks for the kind feedback. I've written a tutorial (first draft) that covers some of the basics, and created a leiningen template for quick-starting a new HTTP-Kit/clj-wamp project:

Cheers,

That is a great tutorial Christopher. Really easy to follow.

You might want link the use of CURI (should be CURIE right?) in your
code example to the explanation of prefix shortening, as it is not
readily apparent that these are linked(at least not to me).

Good call. I agree the prefix shortening should be more noticeable since it's found throughout the examples.

I've given it its own section now:  http://cljwamp.us/tutorial#wampprefix

Again, much thanks for the feedback!

Nice work. How about adding this https://github.com/tavendo/AutobahnPython/tree/master/examples/wamp/authentication WAMP-CRA (WAMP Challenge Response Authentication)?

[Christopher Martin]

Thanks! I saw that too in the Autobahn docs. I'll add that source link to the GitHub issue I'm tracking for that feature @ https://github.com/cgmartin/clj-wamp/issues/3
