Webstomp Client

webstomp-client is a JavaScript library providing a STOMP client over WebSockets for both browser and Node.js environments. Currently at version 1.2.6, it does not follow a fixed release cadence but rather ships updates as needed, addressing bug fixes and minor enhancements. This project is an active fork of the original `stomp-websocket` library by Jeff Mesnil and Jeff Lindsay, having been rewritten in ES6 to modernize its codebase and integrate community-contributed pull requests that were pending in the upstream project. Its key differentiators include modern ES6 syntax, built-in TypeScript type definitions, and explicit support for supplying custom WebSocket implementations (e.g., `ws` or `sockjs-client` in Node.js) via the `webstomp.over()` method, rather than relying solely on a global `WebSocket` object like its predecessor or browser-only alternatives. For browser environments, it automatically uses the global `WebSocket` object. It provides a robust API for connecting, subscribing, sending messages, and handling disconnections with STOMP servers like RabbitMQ Web-STOMP.
