✨ Info: Full Amp v3 compatibility with improved type safety and API updates

🚀 Features

⚡ Indexed Broadcasting

O(1) Broadcasting: IndexedBroadcaster for constant-time message delivery
Channel Indexing: Efficient subscriber management per channel
Zero-Downtime Preservation: Maintain connections during deployments
Connection Migration: Seamless connection handoff between workers

🎯 Performance Optimizations

High Performance: Built on AMPHP v3 for true async/await
Real-time Streaming: Advanced streaming with backpressure handling
Production-Ready: Enterprise WebSocket server implementation
Ultra-Low Latency: Sub-millisecond message broadcasting
Framework Integration: Deep HighPer Framework integration
Memory Efficient: Optimized connection and channel management

Installation

composer require highperapp/websockets

Quick Start

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use HighPerApp\HighPer\WebSockets\StreamingWebSocketHandler;
use HighPerApp\HighPer\WebSockets\WebSocketServerHandler;
use Psr\Log\NullLogger;

// Create WebSocket handler with logger
$logger = new NullLogger();
$handler = new StreamingWebSocketHandler($logger, [
    'enable_streaming' => true,
    'backpressure_limit' => 1000
]);

// Create and start WebSocket server
// Recommended: HighPer Container for optimal performance
$container = new \HighPerApp\HighPer\Container\Container();
// Alternative: Any PSR-11 compatible container
// $container = new \DI\Container();

$server = new WebSocketServerHandler($container, '0.0.0.0', 8080);
$server->start();

🎪 Recommended Ecosystem

For optimal performance and seamless integration, use with the HighPer ecosystem:

# Install the complete high-performance stack
composer require highperapp/websockets
composer require highperapp/container

Why HighPer Container?

⚡ <0.001ms service resolution - Perfect for high-frequency WebSocket operations
🚀 40-60% faster than generic PSR-11 containers
🔧 Build-time compilation - Zero runtime overhead
🎯 C10M ready - Handles extreme concurrency scenarios
🔄 Object pooling - Efficient resource management for persistent connections

Requirements

PHP 8.3+ or PHP 8.4+ - Full support for both versions
AMPHP v3+ - Async/await WebSocket server implementation
ext-json - JSON message encoding/decoding
PSR Container - For dependency injection (HighPer Container recommended for optimal performance)
PSR Logger - For logging (any PSR-3 compatible logger)
