Client

The classes :class:`autobahn.websocket.WebSocketClientProtocol` and :class:`autobahn.websocket.WebSocketClientFactory` are the base classes you derive from to implement WebSocket clients.

Factory

To create your actual client, you need a factory with the protocol attribute set to your protocol.

You may either use :class:`autobahn.websocket.WebSocketClientFactory` directly and without modification or you can derive from that class when you want to extend it's behavior i.e. with state that is available for all client connections.

Protocol

Usually, you implement your WebSocket client by creating a protocol that derives from :class:`autobahn.websocket.WebSocketClientProtocol`.

This class in turn derives from :class:`autobahn.websocket.WebSocketProtocol`, which is where you find all the callbacks and methods.
