socketcluster-client VS jsynchronous

SocketCluster is a framework which allows you to use the WebSocket protocol the transmit between its backend API and client library. The client can be used both on a backend (E.g. a Raspberry pi) or frontend application.

A data-synchronization library for Node.js

Ever get tired of sending API requests and JSON payloads? Wouldn't it be cool if data just synced between server and client?

Jsynchronous lets you share deeply nested object/arrays between node.js and connected browsers – and any changes made to that variable.

For the very reasons listed in the article, I built:

https://github.com/siriusastrebe/jsynchronous

a library for keeping a javascript variables synchronized between Node.js servers and clients.

Websockets work great for message passing but it struggles with data structures more complicated than what JSON can represent. Jsynchronous syncs any javascript object or array with arbitrarily deep nesting and full support for circular data structures.

If a computer goes to sleep, or disconnects, websocket connections (and their underlying TCP connections) get reset so you lose any data sent while a computer is unavailable. Jsynchronous will re-send any data clients are missing.

There's also a history mode that lets you rewind to past states.

I recently built https://github.com/siriusastrebe/jsynchronous which uses event sourcing to synchronize javascript variables on the server with connected browsers.

You can also replay states using a special “rewind” mode, a core advantage of event sourcing.

Not for rust - for javascript: Take a look at this library: https://github.com/siriusastrebe/jsynchronous
