Using Frame-/Streaming-based APIs in AutobahnPython
The example here demonstrate how to use the (advanced) frame-based and streaming WebSocket APIs of AutobahnPython.
They also show off how to do advanced flow-control via the Twisted producer-consumer pattern.
The example clients produce random data, send it to a server which computes SHA256 fingerprints over the received data and send back the fingerprint to the client.
Compared are 4 variants of above functionality:
- message-based API
- frame-based API
- streaming API
- streaming API with producer-consumer pattern
You can find complete tutorials here and here.
Message-based Processing
This pair of client/server uses the standard message-based WebSocket API of AutobahnPython.
Run the server by doing
python message_based_server.py
and the client
python message_based_client.py
Frame-based Processing
This pair of client/server uses the frame-based WebSocket API of AutobahnPython.
Run the server by doing
python frame_based_server.py
and the client
python frame_based_client.py
Streaming Processing
This pair of client/server uses the streaming WebSocket API of AutobahnPython.
Run the server by doing
python streaming_server.py
and the client
python streaming_client.py
Producer-Consumer Processing
This pair of client/server uses the streaming WebSocket API of AutobahnPython together with the Producer-Consumer Pattern of Twisted.
Run the server by doing
python streaming_server.py
and the client
python streaming_producer_client.py
