        What is ``websockets``?
        -----------------------
        
        ``websockets`` is a library for building WebSocket servers_ and clients_ in
        Python with a focus on correctness and simplicity.
        
        .. _servers: https://github.com/aaugustin/websockets/blob/master/example/server.py
        .. _clients: https://github.com/aaugustin/websockets/blob/master/example/client.py
        
        Built on top of ``asyncio``, Python's standard asynchronous I/O framework, it
        provides an elegant coroutine-based API.
        
        Here's a client that says "Hello world!":
        
        .. copy-pasted because GitHub doesn't support the include directive
        
        .. code:: python
        
            #!/usr/bin/env python
        
            import asyncio
            import websockets
        
            async def hello(uri):
                async with websockets.connect(uri) as websocket:
                    await websocket.send("Hello world!")
        
            asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(
                hello('ws://localhost:8765'))
        
        And here's an echo server:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            #!/usr/bin/env python
        
            import asyncio
            import websockets
        
            async def echo(websocket, path):
                async for message in websocket:
                    await websocket.send(message)
        
            asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(
                websockets.serve(echo, 'localhost', 8765))
            asyncio.get_event_loop().run_forever()
        
        Does that look good? `Start here`_.

        Why should I use ``websockets``?
        --------------------------------
        
        The development of ``websockets`` is shaped by four principles:
        
        1. **Simplicity**: all you need to understand is ``msg = await ws.recv()`` and
           ``await ws.send(msg)``; ``websockets`` takes care of managing connections
           so you can focus on your application.
        
        2. **Robustness**: ``websockets`` is built for production; for example it was
           the only library to `handle backpressure correctly`_ before the issue
           became widely known in the Python community.
        
        3. **Quality**: ``websockets`` is heavily tested. Continuous integration fails
           under 100% branch coverage. Also it passes the industry-standard `Autobahn
           Testsuite`_.
        
        4. **Performance**: memory use is configurable. An extension written in C
           accelerates expensive operations. It's pre-compiled for Linux, macOS and
           Windows and packaged in the wheel format for each system and Python version.
        
        Documentation is a first class concern in the project. Head over to `Read the
        Docs`_ and see for yourself.
        
        Professional support is available if you — or your company — are so inclined.
        `Get in touch`_.
        
        (If you contribute to ``websockets`` and would like to become an official
        support provider, let me know.)

        Why shouldn't I use ``websockets``?
        -----------------------------------
        
        * If you prefer callbacks over coroutines: ``websockets`` was created to
          provide the best corountine-based API to manage WebSocket connections in
          Python. Pick another library for a callback-based API.
        * If you're looking for a mixed HTTP / WebSocket library: ``websockets`` aims
          at being an excellent implementation of :rfc:`6455`: The WebSocket Protocol
          and :rfc:`7692`: Compression Extensions for WebSocket. Its support for HTTP
          is minimal — just enough for a HTTP health check.
        * If you want to use Python 2: ``websockets`` builds upon ``asyncio`` which
          only works on Python 3. ``websockets`` requires Python ≥ 3.4.
