SocketIO.JSCore
SocketIO v1.0.x via JavaScriptCore
Why?
Socket.IO v1.0.0 is a major refactoring of the popular real-time framework. Unfortunatelly the communication protocal has changed drastically, thus most of the existing obj-c library won't work with v1.0.x.
This project is aimed for a obj-c bridge to the official framework via JavaScriptCore.

pod 'SocketIO'
Usage
#import "SocketIO.h"
// This library is heavily inspired by the event emitter API of the official client
// Both SocketIO and Socket class are event emitter.
SocketIO *io = [[SocketIO alloc] init];
[io once:@"ready" listener:^{
Socket *socket = [io of:@"http://localhost:8000" and:@{}];
[socket once:@"hi" listener:^{
// recieved response from server
}];
[socket emit:@"hi", nil];
[socket emit:@"giveMeDataViaAck", @{@"test": @true}, ^(id *data) {
// got response
}, nil];
}];
