SocketRocket is written in Objective-C and starscream is written in Swift :smile:. They both are RFC 6455 implementations. As far as features, SocketRocket has been around a long time and might have a few extra features that starscream does not, but they both support the base WebSocket protocol to spec and pass the Autoban test suite. They are both great libraries, just depends on what your particular needs and preferences are.

Nice. Thanks! I'm going to try Starscream because I prefer Swift. Also, I love using the latest & greatest technologies. :-)
