What is it?
Faye is a publish-subscribe messaging system based on the Bayeux protocol. It provides message servers for Node.js and Ruby, and clients for use on the server and in all major web browsers.
Who uses it?
1. Start a server
var http = require('http'),
faye = require('faye');
var server = http.createServer(),
bayeux = new faye.NodeAdapter({mount: '/'});
bayeux.attach(server);
server.listen(8000);
2. Create a client
var client = new Faye.Client('http://localhost:8000/');
client.subscribe('/messages', function(message) {
alert('Got a message: ' + message.text);
});
3. Send messages
client.publish('/messages', {
text: 'Hello world'
});
