I like SockJS because it's literally just "websockets damnit!". Also, it doesn't use Flash, which has excellent benefits including no gnarly XML files to server and not having to wait three seconds to figure out if a connection works or not (yes, really). Also: protip, speak SockJS over TLS exclusively. It's not even a security thing (except yes, that too), but if you do end up speaking websockets you'd be amazed how much Enterprise Quality Web Middleware Server Hardware Firewall(TM) screws up websocket connections. TLS, OTOH, they just leave be. hth lvh
