  Description     : WebSocket emulation - Javascript client

SockJS is a browser JavaScript library that provides a WebSocket-like
object.  SockJS gives you a coherent, cross-browser, Javascript API
which creates a low latency, full duplex, cross-domain communication
channel between the browser and the web server.

Under the hood SockJS tries to use native WebSockets first. If that
fails it can use a variety of browser-specific transport protocols and
presents them through WebSocket-like abstractions.

SockJS is intended to work for all modern browsers and in environments
which don't support WebSocket protocol, for example behind restrictive
corporate proxies.
