    Simple to use, blazing fast and thoroughly tested WebSocket client and server for Node.js

  • This client will stay open for as long as the websocket connection to the server is maintained. If the server disconnects it, or if there is a network issue, the script will stop. You could build this into a more complex script that checks for the close, error or unexpected-response events and gracefully tries to reconnect to the server after a specified time. Then you could run this as a persistent script that will keep running indefinitely. See this page for some more documentation: https://github.com/websockets/ws/blob/HEAD/doc/ws.md
