🎶 Minimalist websocket framework for Go.

Melody is websocket framework based on github.com/gorilla/websocket that abstracts away the tedious parts of handling websockets. It gets out of your way so you can write real-time apps. Features include:

  • Clear and easy interface similar to net/http or Gin.
  • A simple way to broadcast to all or selected connected sessions.
  • Message buffers making concurrent writing safe.
  • Automatic handling of sending ping/pong heartbeats that timeout broken sessions.
  • Store data on sessions.

FAQ

If you are getting a 403 when trying to connect to your websocket you can change allow all origin hosts:

m := melody.New()
m.Upgrader.CheckOrigin = func(r *http.Request) bool { return true }
