## What is tokio-tungstenite?
This crate is based on [`tungstenite-rs`](https://github.com/snapview/tungstenite-rs) Rust WebSocket library and provides `Tokio` 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 `Tokio` stack.
