3 WebSocket++ code is available on github at https://github.com/zaphoyd/websocketpp
4 The official project homepage lives at http://www.zaphoyd.com/websocketpp
6 The git repository is organized into several directories:
8 - **docs**: This documentation
9 - **examples**: Example programs that demonstrate how to build basic versions of some commonly used patterns for WebSocket clients and servers.
10 - **test**: Unit tests that confirm that the code you have works properly and help detect platform specific issues.
11 - **tutorials**: Detailed walkthroughs of a select set of the example programs.
12 - **websocketpp**: All of the library code and default configuration files.
14 WebSocket++ is a header only library. You can start using it by including the websocketpp source directory in your project's include path and including the appropriate WebSocket++ headers in your program. You may also need to include and/or link to appropriate Boost/system libraries. TODO: More information: Building a program with WebSocket++, Walkthroughs of the example programs
16 WebSocket++ includes cmake and scons scripts for building the examples and unit tests. Neither system is needed unless you want to build tests or examples in an automated fashion.
