WebSocket-RS 🚀

High-performance WebSocket client implementation in Rust with Python bindings. Provides both sync and async APIs with significant performance improvements over pure Python implementations.

🎯 Performance Highlights

Sync Client: 1.85x faster than websocket-client, 6.2x faster than websockets
Async Client (Pipelined): 12x faster than picows, 21x faster than websockets
Pure Rust implementation with zero-copy optimizations
Thread-safe with concurrent operations support

📦 Installation

pip install websocket-rs

🚀 Quick Start

Synchronous Client

from websocket_rs.sync.client import connect

# Simple usage
with connect("ws://localhost:8765") as ws:
    ws.send("Hello, WebSocket!")
    response = ws.recv()
    print(response)

Asynchronous Client

import asyncio
from websocket_rs.async_client import connect

async def main():
    async with connect("ws://localhost:8765") as ws:
        await ws.send("Hello, Async!")
        response = await ws.recv()
        print(response)

asyncio.run(main())
