I first tried posting this question in the headless client section, but I'm guessing this might be better. I wish to implement a server side capability to access webservices from a number of sites that deliver data via both RESTful APIs and Websockets. I've found the ability to use RESTful services to be functional and useful and found the "Consuming web services in Servoy" video by Sean Devlin to be helpful. However, I also want to do the same thing with Websockets.
My understanding is the NG client is made possible with Websockets so the server must implement that functionality. Does that mean that the headless client would already support the ability to be a client to consume websockets APIs from webservices? If not, please explain why not and suggested workarounds.
My attraction to Servoy over the years has been largely because I can get a lot done on my own for certain projects without a big development team. With the NG client, the web browser becomes a practical user client. However, to really make a web product hum these days, it is all about integrations and APIs. Websockets are key to that. I wouyld love to do this in Servoy if I can with reasonably low pain. One thing against is that most of the APIs out there provide libraries for C#, Node.js, Go, Ruby, Python, PHP, etc. I can study these and see how they work, but I need to know how to get started consuming webservices via websockets in Servoy.
I would really appreciate any advice you can offer. Should I just skip Servoy for use with Websockets for now? Thanks in advance!
