There are many more examples showing options and advanced features:
WebSocket Examples <websocket/examples>.WAMP Examples <wamp/examples>.
Note
- WAMP application components can be run in servers and clients without any modification to your component class.
- AutobahnJS allows you to write WAMP application components in JavaScript which run in browsers and Nodejs. Here is how above example looks like in JavaScript.
Note
We will refer to simply by Autobahn when it is clear from the context which Autobahn subproject library is meant. In this documentation, this is almost always.
WAMP implements two messaging patterns on top of WebSocket:
- Publish & Subscribe: Publishers publish events to a topic, and subscribers to the topic receive these events. A router brokers these events.
- Remote Procedure Calls: A callee registers a remote procedure with a router. A caller makes a call for that procedure to the router. The router deals the call to the callee and returns the result to the caller.
Basic router functionality is provided by .
WAMP is ideal for distributed, multi-client and server applications, such as multi-user database-drive business applications, sensor networks (IoT), instant messaging or MMOGs (massively multi-player online games) .
WAMP enables application architectures with application code distributed freely across processes and devices according to functional aspects. Since WAMP implementations exist for multiple languages, WAMP applications can be polyglot. Application components can be implemented in a language and run on a device which best fit the particular use case.
