Wave is a great product, but not a good library. Just like ShareJS, realtime-store has there major modules, each module can be used separately: 1) realtime-operation <https://github.com/goodow/realtime-operation> An operational transform library for Java, currently only supports json-like data type, no xml support. 2) realtime-channel <https://github.com/goodow/realtime-channel> Distributed publish/subscribe event bus which penetrates from server to browser/iOS/Android, currently use SockJS for browser, WebSockets for iOS/Android, ant can be implemented using MQTT or XMPP. 3) realtime-store <https://github.com/goodow/realtime-store> Persistence layer, currently supports memory and redis+elasticsearch. Realtime API <https://developers.google.com/drive/realtime/reference/> is also implemented here. So far, there has no editor integration, and doesn't contain any ui-related code, but will. Benefit from the distributed publish/subscribe event bus across server/browser/iOS/Android and no ui specific code, it is easy to implement client libraries on multiple platforms.
