SockJS – WebSocket emulation (2011)

SockJS has ambitious goals:

  1. Simple browser-side and server-side APIs, as close to WebSocket API as possible.
  2. Well documented scaling and load balancing techniques.
  3. Transports must fully support cross-domain   communication.
  4. Transports must fall back gracefully in case of  restrictive proxies.
  5. Connection establishment should be fast.
  6. No Flash on the client side, Javascript only.
  7. Client-side Javascript must be reasonably well tested.
  8. Additionally the server side code should be simple, in order to lower the cost of writing servers for different languages.

In retrospective I can say that some of them are much harder than originally anticipated :)
