Why WebSocket Adapters Matter
Different apps need different WebSocket solutions. With MoroJS, you choose the adapter that fits your needs - same API, different backends.
Traditional WebSocket setup locks you into one solution. We give you flexibility with a consistent API.
Without Adapters
- •Locked into one WebSocket library
- •Different APIs for different libraries
- •Hard to switch between solutions
- •No flexibility for different use cases
With MoroJS
- •Choose the adapter that fits your needs
- •Same API across all adapters
- •Easy to switch between adapters
- •Auto-detection for zero config
It's This Easy
Use the same API regardless of which adapter you choose.

Why It Makes Sense
Flexible
Choose Socket.IO for features or native WS for performance. Same API.
Automatic
Auto-detection finds the best adapter. Zero configuration needed.
Consistent
Same API across all adapters. Switch between them easily.
How It Works
MoroJS uses a pluggable adapter system for WebSockets. You can choose Socket.IO for feature-rich applications, native WebSocket (ws) for performance, or disable WebSockets entirely for HTTP-only apps. The API remains consistent across all adapters.
