### lyng.io.ws — WebSocket client for Lyng scripts
This module provides a compact WebSocket client API for Lyng scripts. It is implemented in `lyngio` and currently backed by Ktor WebSockets on the JVM.
> **Note:** `lyngio` is a separate library module. It must be explicitly added as a dependency to your host application and initialized in your Lyng scopes.
---
#### Install the module into a Lyng session
Kotlin (host) bootstrap example:
```kotlin
import net.sergeych.lyng.EvalSession
import net.sergeych.lyng.Scope
import net.sergeych.lyng.io.ws.createWsModule
import net.sergeych.lyngio.ws.security.PermitAllWsAccessPolicy
suspend fun bootstrapWs() {
val session = EvalSession()
val scope: Scope = session.getScope()
createWsModule(PermitAllWsAccessPolicy, scope)
session.eval("import lyng.io.ws")
}
```
---
#### Using from Lyng scripts
Simple text message exchange:
import lyng.io.ws
val ws = Ws.connect(WS_TEST_URL)
ws.sendText("ping")
val m: WsMessage = ws.receive()
ws.close()
[ws.url() == WS_TEST_URL, m.isText, m.text]
>>> [true,true,echo:ping]
Binary message exchange:
import lyng.buffer
import lyng.io.ws
val ws = Ws.connect(WS_TEST_BINARY_URL)
ws.sendBytes(Buffer(9, 8, 7))
val m: WsMessage = ws.receive()
ws.close()
[m.isText, (m.data as Buffer).hex]
>>> [false,010203090807]
Secure websocket (`wss`) exchange:
import lyng.io.ws
val ws = Ws.connect(WSS_TEST_URL)
ws.sendText("ping")
val m: WsMessage = ws.receive()
ws.close()
[ws.url() == WSS_TEST_URL, m.text]
>>> [true,secure:ping]

#### API reference
##### `Ws` (static methods)
- `isSupported(): Bool` — Whether WebSocket client support is available on the current runtime.
- `connect(url: String, headers...): WsSession` — Open a client websocket session.
`headers...` accepts:
- `MapEntry`, e.g. `"Authorization" => "Bearer x"`
- 2-item lists, e.g. `["Authorization", "Bearer x"]`
##### `WsSession`
- `isOpen(): Bool`
- `url(): String`
- `sendText(text: String): void`
- `sendBytes(data: Buffer): void`
- `receive(): WsMessage?`
- `close(code: Int = 1000, reason: String = ""): void`
`receive()` returns `null` after a clean close.
##### `WsMessage`
- `isText: Bool`
- `text: String?`
- `data: Buffer?`
Text messages populate `text`; binary messages populate `data`.
---
#### Security policy
The module uses `WsAccessPolicy` to authorize websocket operations.
- `WsAccessPolicy` — interface for custom policies
- `PermitAllWsAccessPolicy` — allows all websocket operations
- `WsAccessOp.Connect(url)`
- `WsAccessOp.Send(url, bytes, isText)`
- `WsAccessOp.Receive(url)`
Example restricted policy in Kotlin:
```kotlin
import net.sergeych.lyngio.fs.security.AccessContext
import net.sergeych.lyngio.fs.security.AccessDecision
import net.sergeych.lyngio.fs.security.Decision
import net.sergeych.lyngio.ws.security.WsAccessOp
import net.sergeych.lyngio.ws.security.WsAccessPolicy
val allowLocalOnly = object : WsAccessPolicy {
override suspend fun check(op: WsAccessOp, ctx: AccessContext): AccessDecision =
when (op) {
is WsAccessOp.Connect ->
if (
op.url.startsWith("ws://127.0.0.1:") ||
op.url.startsWith("wss://127.0.0.1:") ||
op.url.startsWith("ws://localhost:") ||
op.url.startsWith("wss://localhost:")
)
AccessDecision(Decision.Allow)
else
AccessDecision(Decision.Deny, "only local ws/wss connections are allowed")
else -> AccessDecision(Decision.Allow)
}
}
```

#### Platform support
- **JVM:** supported
- **Android:** supported via the Ktor CIO websocket client backend
- **JS:** supported via the Ktor JS websocket client backend
- **Linux native:** supported via the Ktor Curl websocket client backend
- **Windows native:** supported via the Ktor WinHttp websocket client backend
- **Apple native:** supported via the Ktor Darwin websocket client backend
- **Other targets:** may report unsupported; use `Ws.isSupported()` before relying on websocket client access
