It's tested by autobaha test suit. see examples/autobahn-client

pretty good performance

Roughly compare with EchoSever example, tungstenite, both async and blocking version of ws-tool echo serve win in single client(more then 10) with 1m payload size.

My test machine is i9-12900k and 32GB, 3200MHz ddr4, use uWebSocket provided client example as perf client

usage

Every example can be run with

cargo run --example <example_name> --all-features

command.

See examples/server for building a websocket echo server with self signed certs.

examples/echo demonstrate how to connect to a wss server.

examples/binance show how to connect via proxy

start test server

./script/start_autobahn_server.sh

run test on other terminal

cargo run --example autobahn_client --all-features
