Gateway

About this Project

The Gateway is a network gateway created to provide a single access point for real-time web based protocol elevation that supports load balancing, clustering, and security management. It is designed to provide scalable and secure bidirectional event-based communication over the web; on every platform, browser, and device.

A set of client APIs are provided in the following repos.

• JavaScript SDK for WebSocket
• Objective-C SDK for WebSocket
• Android and Java SDK for WebSocket
• JavaScript SDK for AMQP 0-9-1
• Java SDK for AMQP 0-9-1
