SocketStream was develop for new age web apps, the ones that rely on heavy client-server communications and the one-page design model.

Here are some key features of "SocketStream":

· Automatic HTTP/HTTPS API. All server-side code is also accessible over a high-speed request-based API
· Effortless, scalable, pub/sub baked right in - including Private Channels. See examples below
· Integrated asset manager. Automatically packages and minifies all client-side assets
· Out-of-the-box HTTPS support with auto HTTP redirects. See HTTPS section below
· In-built User model with modular authentication. Automatically keeps track of users online (see below).
· Interactive console - just type 'socketstream console' and invoke any server-side or shared method from there
· 'API Trees' offer a simple, consistent way to namespace large code bases across the front and back end
· Uses Redis for fast session retrieval, pub/sub, list of users online, and any other data your app needs instantly
· Supports custom HTTP middleware/responders which execute first for maximum flexibility and speed
· Bundled with jQuery and jQuery templates. Works like partials in Rails.
· Easily add additional client libraries such as Underscore.js
· Initial layout HTML can be written in Jade or plain HTML
· Uses Stylus for CSS
· SocketStream apps can be generated with a command-line client
· True bi-directional communication using websockets (or flashsockets)
· Crazy fast! Starts up instantly. No HTTP handshaking/headers/routing to slow down every request
· Works great with Chrome and Safari. Firefox and IE support (using flashsockets) temperamental but improving thanks to Socket.IO
· Write all code in CoffeeScript or JavaScript - your choice
· Easily share code between the client and server. Ideal for business logic and model validation
· Works great on iPads and iPhones using Mobile Safari (iOS 4.2 and above), even over 3G

Requirements:

· JavaScript enabled on client side
· Node.js

Limitations:

· Still under heavy development. May change drastically from version to version.
