#Pomelo javascript socket.io client

The javascript socket.io client library for Pomelo.

Since there are two kind connectors in pomelo 0.3, socket.io and socket(websocket), we provide two javascript clients for different usage. websocket client is optimized for data transfer size, the package is compressedin high rate. It's suitable for HTML5 online game, especially mobile platform.

socket.io client is excellent for browser compatibility, the package is in json. It's suitable for online realtime application on browser, like chat, on which browser compatiblity is an important issue.

The apis are almost the same in both clients, except websocket client need a handshake callback for protocol data. Both clients use component package manager for building.

##Usage

connect to the server

  pomelo.init(params, callback);

example:

  pomelo.init({
    host: host,
    port: port,
    log: true
  }, function() {
    console.log('success');
  });

send request to server with callback

  pomelo.request(route, params, callback);

example:

	pomelo.request(route, {
		rid: rid
	}, function(data) {
    console.log(dta);	
	});

send request to server without callback

  pomelo.notify(route, params);
