A shared parser library for Socket.IO that enables consistent message handling across platforms. It provides foundational utilities for parsing and serializing Socket.IO protocol messages, ensuring interoperability between client and server implementations. Designed to be used alongside platform-specific Socket.IO clients, it simplifies communication in real-time applications by standardizing data exchange formats. This package is essential for developers building cross-platform apps requiring WebSocket-based real-time features.
