pocket.io

=========

A minimalistic version of [socket.io](https://socket.io) that weights about 1K instead of 60K.

```html

  $(function () {

    var socket = io();

    socket.on('connect', function () {

      console.log(socket.id);

    });

    socket.on('chat message', function(msg){

      $('#messages').append($('<li>').text(msg));

    });

    $('form').submit(function(){

      socket.emit('chat message', $('#m').val());

      $('#m').val('');

      return false;

    });

  });

```

On the Node.js side, you do the same you are doing now.

Try `node test/chat-express.js` and visit `localhost:3000` to see the classic chat demo working.

```js

var app = require('express')();

var http = require('http').Server(app);

var io = require('pocket.io')(http);

app.get('/', function(req, res){

  res.sendFile(__dirname + '/chat.html');

});

io.on('connection', function(socket){

  console.log('a user connected');

  socket.on('chat message', function (msg) {

    io.emit('chat message', msg);

  });

  socket.on('disconnect', function () {

    console.log('disconnected');

  });

});

http.listen(3000, function(){

  console.log('listening on *:3000');

});

```

### API differences

You can specify a JSON like parser through the option.

As example, this is how you'd use recursion compatible serialization via the [flatted](https://github.com/WebReflection/flatted#flatted) module.

```js

// Node.js

io(server, {JSON: require('flatted/cjs')});

// client, after having Flatted exposed somehow, i.e.

// 

io({JSON: Flatted});

```
