Is Socket.io still the go-to for websockets or is there something better?

• Socket.io

  825 60,129 7.8 TypeScript

  Realtime application framework (Node.JS server)

  

socket.io does the job, but ws is not only smaller and faster, but in my short experience also ridiculously easy to work with. socket.io is said to be quite bloated in comparison. I'd pick ws without hesitation.

• uWebSockets.js

  32 7,252 8.2 C++

  μWebSockets for Node.js back-ends :metal:

  

I would go for uWebsockets. It's built on C and has a port on JS. It's the fastest library. Allthough its API is not the most complete. Take a look. https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets.js

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io sponsored

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
