A simple WebSocket client library implemented in C for Windows using Winsock2. This library allows you to establish WebSocket connections, send and receive messages, and handle connection states.
- WebSocket Handshake: Establishes a WebSocket connection with the server.
- Message Sending: Supports sending text and binary messages.
- Message Receiving: Handles incoming messages from the server.
- Connection Management: Manages connection states and gracefully closes connections.
This project is a Visual Studio solution containing two projects:
- mws_lib: A static library project for the WebSocket implementation (Main Project).
- test-mws: A test project to demonstrate the usage of the WebSocket library.
mws_lib.candmws_lib.h: Implementation and header files for the WebSocket library.test-mws/test-mws.c: Example program demonstrating how to use the WebSocket library.mws_lib.sln: Visual Studio solution file.
- Windows OS: The library is designed for Windows platforms.
- Visual Studio: This project uses Visual Studio for building. Ensure you have a recent version installed.
