Orbited – Networking for the Web

Orbited – Networking for the Web

Orbited provides a pure JavaScript/HTML socket in the browser. It is a web router and firewall that allows you to integrate web applications with arbitrary back-end systems. You can implement any network protocol in the browser—without resorting to plugins.

Integration

Orbited ships with support for many protocols out of the box, including IRC, XMPP, and STOMP (ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ)

Scalability

Orbited’s shared-nothing architecture supports arbitrarily large server clusters—perfect horizontal scalability.

Usability

Orbited works in all browsers, cross-port and cross-subdomain, with no loading bars, clicks, or spurious history entries.

Standards

Orbited uses only web standards to provide the most future-proof API and implementation.
