## Usage
Add this in your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
async-tungstenite = "*"
```
Take a look at the `examples/` directory for client and server examples. You
may also want to get familiar with [async-std](https://async.rs/) or
[tokio](https://tokio.rs) if you don't have any experience with it.
## What is async-tungstenite?
This crate is based on [tungstenite](https://crates.io/crates/tungstenite)
Rust WebSocket library and provides async bindings and wrappers for it, so you
can use it with non-blocking/asynchronous `TcpStream`s from and couple it
together with other crates from the async stack. In addition, optional
integration with various other crates can be enabled via feature flags
* `async-tls`: Enables the `async_tls` module, which provides integration
with the [async-tls](https://crates.io/crates/async-tls) TLS stack and can
be used independent of any async runtime.
* `async-std-runtime`: Enables the `async_std` module, which provides
integration with the [async-std](https://async.rs) runtime.
* `async-native-tls`: Enables the additional functions in the `async_std`
module to implement TLS via
[async-native-tls](https://crates.io/crates/async-native-tls).
* `tokio-runtime`: Enables the `tokio` module, which provides integration
with the [tokio](https://tokio.rs) runtime.
* `tokio-native-tls`: Enables the additional functions in the `tokio` module to
implement TLS via [tokio-native-tls](https://crates.io/crates/tokio-native-tls).
* `gio-runtime`: Enables the `gio` module, which provides integration with
the [gio](https://gtk-rs.org) runtime.
## tokio-tungstenite
Originally this crate was created as a fork of
[tokio-tungstenite](https://github.com/snapview/tokio-tungstenite) and ported
to the traits of the [`futures`](https://crates.io/crates/futures) crate.
Integration into async-std, tokio and gio was added on top of that.
