Ask HN: What tool do you suggest for Websocket development?

4 pointsby sazaryover 8 years ago
Hi<p>I&#x27;m implementing a Webscoket server using go, and I need to have an interactive way to send messages to it and debug it. For REST APIs, I use Postman, and it had simplified my workflow hugely. Is there something like that for Websockets? Currently I&#x27;m using Dark Websocket Terminal, and it leaves much to desire for.<p>Thanks a lot.

Good question, I&#x27;m interested in hearing other people&#x27;s suggestions.<p>I don&#x27;t use go, but I&#x27;ve worked with websockets in Elixir + Phoenix, and one thing that&#x27;s been really helpful is being able to open up the REPL and broadcast directly to the websocket. Would you be able to do something like this in go?

Charlie proxy has great support for viewing web sockets traffic live, which has been a great help for me. Not sure if it can inject traffic though.

You can run a Websocket client in a test suite that tests your server. Have you considered this strategy?
