RSocket is a binary protocol, providing Reactive Streams semantics over the network, for byte stream transports such as: TCP, Websockets, and Aeron.
RSocket is a binary application-level communication protocol, providing Reactive Streams semantics over the network, for byte stream transports such as: TCP, Websockets, and Aeron.
It enables the following symmetric interaction models via async message passing over a single connection:
- request/response (stream of 1)
- request/stream (finite stream of many)
- fire-and-forget (no response)
- channel (bi-directional streams)
RSocket supports session resumption, to allow resuming long-lived streams across different transport connections. This is particularly useful for mobile<->server communication when network connections drop, switch, and reconnect frequently.
