MongoDB Wire Protocol

• http://docs.mongodb.org/meta-driver/latest/legacy/mongodb-wire-protocol/
• http://craiggwilson.com/2013/12/10/mongodb-drivers-wire-protocol-1/

WebSocket Proxies

• Nginx (native)
• ngx_tcp_proxy_module
• ngx_websockify_module (which, despite its name, seems only to proxy)
• HAproxy
• Varnish (not explored)

WebSocket Bridges

• websockify (Python)
  • minimal dependencies bar numpy, but hardcodes protocol to binary or base64
  • would need to be patched to be useful
  • fallback flash socket unfortunately is not useful today (base64 & uses flash)
• websockify (C)
  • known bugs with large frame sizes
• websockify (Ruby, Clojure, Node-JS)
• wspipe, but for Node-JS
• ws-to-tcp-bridge, but for Node-JS
• websocket-tcp-forwarder, golang, but from first time go user

WebSocket Libraries (C)

• libwebsockets
  • has a sample server
  • should be easy to adapt as a bridge if using poll
  • tutorial here
  • ideally, should be made a low-overhead process using libev or epoll
    • seems to contain some libev code...

Other

• WebTCP: A wrapper around websockets and various fallbacks
• Nginx Push module includes WebSockets

Modular

• AMD and CommonJS modules
  • curl.js now dead, replaced with RavJS
  • ReactJS
  • ECMAScript 6 import statements
  • bower for package management for browsers
  • http://addyosmani.com/writing-modular-js/
  • Wikipedia on AMD has several reasonable links
• mout
