Psockets comes from PHP sockets not POSIX sockets

A high performance networking framework aiming to speed up the development of TCP based servers.

HTTP and WebSocket support is already provided with the framework, so you can start working on your web based projects right away.

A simple Hello World HTTP application looks like this:

  class HelloWorld extends HttpComponent {
