NextGenSoftware.WebSocket

A lightweight, high-performance WebSocket client for .NET — the real-time communication backbone of HoloNET and the OASIS Omniverse ecosystem.

Part of the OASIS Omniverse v2.0 Reboot — the biggest NextGen Software release in years. Visit oasisomniverse.one.

Features

Clean event-driven API — OnConnected, OnDisconnected, OnDataReceived, OnError, OnDataSent
Async/await first with proper cancellation support
Automatic reconnection with configurable retry logic
Binary and text message support
Production-hardened — used in HoloNET for all Holochain conductor WebSocket communication
Multi-target: .NET 8, .NET 9, .NET 10

Installation

dotnet add package NextGenSoftware.WebSocket

Quick Start

using NextGenSoftware.WebSocket;

var client = new WebSocketClient("wss://localhost:8888");
client.OnConnected    += (s, e) => Console.WriteLine("Connected!");
client.OnDataReceived += (s, e) => Console.WriteLine($"Received {e.RawData.Length} bytes");
client.OnError        += (s, e) => Console.WriteLine($"Error: {e.Reason}");

await client.Connect();
await client.SendRawDataAsync(myBytes);
await client.Disconnect();

Events

Event	Description
`OnConnected`	Connection established
`OnDisconnected`	Connection closed (cleanly or otherwise)
`OnDataReceived`	Raw data arrived from the server
`OnDataSent`	Data successfully sent
`OnError`	WebSocket error occurred
