# HAL WebSockets Core

This is the common WebSockets implementation shared by the [HAL WebSockets Client](../halsim_ws_client/) and [HAL WebSockets Server](../halsim_ws_server/) extensions.  It is not a standalone extension.

These extensions provide a WebSockets API for transmitting robot hardware interface state over a network and implement the [Robot Hardware Interface WebSockets API specification](doc/hardware_ws_api.md).  See the specification for more details on the protocol.
[sim] Various WebSockets fixes and enhancements (#2952) This is a breaking change to the WebSockets layer to align it with recent specification documentation work. To support this, HAL SimValue changed readonly to a direction enum. This allows specifying bidirectional in addition to input and output. The SimValue change is specifically designed to avoid API and ABI breakage. This is completely transparent in C++; in Java a new callback class was added, and the old readonly functions have been marked deprecated. A new SimValue creation function for enums allows specifying double values for each enum value, not just strings. This allows mapping enum values to doubles in the WebSockets layer. A ":" in the SimDevice name now maps it to different WebSocket types (e.g. "Accel:Name" becomes type "Accel", device "Name"). The type is hidden in the GUI. Other WebSockets changes: * Implemented match_time and game_data * Added joystick rumble data * Added builtin accelerometer support * SimValue enums are mapped to string and double value on WS interface * Added WebSockets protocol specification * Added READMEs 2020-12-23 15:54:11 -08:00			`# HAL WebSockets Core`
