gulp-websocket-server

gulp-websocket-server is a Gulp plugin that opens a WebSocket server (using the `ws` library) and sends messages to connected clients when file changes are detected via Gulp streams. Version 1.1.2 (latest) is stable but has not seen updates since 2017; it is in maintenance mode. Key differentiator: built-in integration with Gulp's pipe system via a `livereload` method, plus a standalone `send` method. Alternatives include browser-sync or gulp-livereload for more feature-rich live reloading.
