A socket.io-like JavaScript library for WebSocket communication.

• Essentially a drop-in replacement for socket.io:

pipe.on('fromserver', (arg1, arg2) => {
  console.log('server said:', arg1, arg2);
});
pipe.emit('something', 'arg1', 42, (reply) => {
  console.log('got reply:', reply);
});

• Reconnects automatically and transparently.
• SMALL

This pretty much sums up my original motivation:

• socket.io 97 kiB (1.4.5)
• sockjs 57 kiB (1.1.1)
• webpipe 4.3 kiB

Above sizes are minified.

Also, WebPipe has NO support for other transports, long-polling etc.

WebPipe has no javascript dependencies. However, it depends on the web browser to support WebSockets.
