safe-web-socket

A secure, production-ready WebSocket wrapper for Go with built-in validation, rate limiting, authentication, and connection management.

Overview

SafeWebSocket is a Go library designed to simplify the creation of secure, scalable, and resilient WebSocket servers. Built on top of gorilla/websocket, it adds essential safety layers — including authentication, input validation, connection limits, rate limiting, and graceful shutdown — so you can focus on your application logic, not security pitfalls.

Whether you’re building real-time dashboards, chat apps, or live data feeds, SafeWebSocket ensures your WebSocket endpoints are protected against common attacks (e.g., DoS, injection, unauthorized access).

Features

• ✅ Graceful Shutdown & Cleanup
• ✅ Automatic Reconnection Handling (Client-side helpers)
• ✅ WebSocket Ping/Pong Health Checks
