The Orbited Project always strives to push the boundaries of bi-directional web technology, and then roll our advances back into standards. The Orbited.TCPSocket is a prime example — initially it was our internal standard, the separation between protocol and transport. The js.io project is targeted against the TCPSocket API instead of being built directly into Orbited because we always hoped to provide the widest range of integration. For this reason, I’m excited to announce that Lightstreamer will be joining Orbited and Sproket.Socket in supporting the js.io.TCPSocket API. This means that you will be able to swap Orbited out for Lightstreamer in any applications that depend on js.io, including applications developed against the js.io.WebSocket implementation for future-proof compliance with the HTML5 standard.
