Right now, client WebSockets are only available for the CIO Client Engine.

and CIO is not available for js as far as i can see i oiginally inteded to use websockets because people told me its built into the browser/js, so i thought it would be available in the

JS

client or was i just blind and there is a multiplatform js artifact for CIO and websockets?

it’s only available on JVM for the CIO client

FYI Kotlin JS has access to the JS WebSockets API ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_API ; https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/org.w3c.dom/-web-socket/index.html ).

Right now, client WebSockets are only available for the CIO Client Engine.

@Nikky I had interpreted the situation as 'WebSockets are only integrated with the Coroutine I/O API, on the JVM'. However that doesn't mean that WebSockets themselves are limited to the JVM. Are you saying you have to have CIO integration?

No i do not think so, but i do need a abstraction layer to use it for jvm and js from common code, 1.2.0-rc seems to have that

That was good timing then, as it's just been released 🙂
