RSocket Kotlin multi-platform implementation based on kotlinx.coroutines and kotlinx-io.
RSocket is a binary application protocol providing Reactive Streams semantics for use on byte stream transports such as TCP, WebSockets, QUIC and Aeron.
It enables the following symmetric interaction models via async message passing over a single connection:

Local (in memory) transport is supported for all targets. Starting from Ktor 3.1 release, all ktor-client, ktor-server and ktor-network modules are supported for all targets. So all Ktor related transports (TCP and WebSocket) are supported by rsocket-kotlin for all targets. Additionally, there is experimental JVM-only support for Netty TCP and QUIC transpots.
rsocket-kotlin is available on Maven Central:
repositories { mavenCentral() }
rsocket-kotlin provides client and server plugins for ktor
Dependencies:
dependencies { // for client implementation("io.rsocket.kotlin:ktor-client-rsocket:0.20.0") // for server implementation("io.rsocket.kotlin:ktor-server-rsocket:0.20.0") }
Example of client plugin usage:
//create ktor client val client = HttpClient { install(WebSockets) // rsocket requires websockets plugin installed install(RSocketSupport) { // configure rSocket connector (all values have defaults) connector { connectionConfig { // payload for setup frame setupPayload { buildPayload { data("""{ "data": "setup" }""") } } // mime types payloadMimeType = PayloadMimeType( data = WellKnownMimeType.ApplicationJson, metadata = WellKnownMimeType.MessageRSocketCompositeMetadata ) } } } } //connect to some url val rSocket: RSocket = client.rSocket("wss://demo.rsocket.io/rsocket") //request stream val stream: Flow<Payload> = rSocket.requestStream( buildPayload { data("""{ "data": "hello world" }""") } ) //take 5 values and print response stream.take(5).collect { payload: Payload -> println(payload.data.readString()) }
Example of server plugin usage:
//create ktor server embeddedServer(CIO) { install(WebSockets) // rsocket requires websockets plugin installed install(RSocketSupport) { // optionally configure rSocket server } routing { rSocket("rsocket") { println(config.setupPayload.data.readString()) //print setup payload data RSocketRequestHandler { // handler for request/response requestResponse { request: Payload -> println(request.data.readString()) //print request payload data delay(500) // work emulation buildPayload { data("""{ "data": "Server response" }""") } } // handler for request/stream requestStream { request: Payload -> println(request.data.readString()) // print request payload data flow { repeat(10) { i -> emit( buildPayload { data("""{ "data": "Server stream response: $i" }""") } ) } } } } } } }.start(true)
rsocket-kotlin also provides standalone transports which can be used to establish RSocket connection:
Dependencies:
dependencies { implementation("io.rsocket.kotlin:rsocket-core:0.20.0") // TCP ktor client/server transport implementation("io.rsocket.kotlin:rsocket-transport-ktor-tcp:0.20.0") // WS ktor client transport implementation("io.rsocket.kotlin:rsocket-transport-ktor-websocket-client:0.20.0") // WS ktor server transport implementation("io.rsocket.kotlin:rsocket-transport-ktor-websocket-server:0.20.0") // Netty TCP client/server transport implementation("io.rsocket.kotlin:rsocket-transport-netty-tcp:0.20.0") }
Example of usage standalone TCP ktor client transport:
val parentContext = Job() val target = KtorTcpClientTransport(parentContext) { // optional configuration }.target("127.0.0.1", 8080) val connector = RSocketConnector { //configuration goes here } val rsocket: RSocket = connector.connect(target) //use rsocket to do request val response = rsocket.requestResponse(buildPayload { data("""{ "data": "hello world" }""") }) println(response.data.readString())
Example of usage standalone TCP ktor server transport:
val parentContext = Job() val target = KtorTcpServerTransport(parentContext) { // optional configuration }.target("127.0.0.1", 8080) val server = RSocketServer { //configuration goes here } val serverInstance = server.startServer(target) { RSocketRequestHandler { //handler for request/response requestResponse { request: Payload -> println(request.data.readString()) //print request payload data delay(500) // work emulation buildPayload { data("""{ "data": "Server response" }""") } } } } serverInstance.coroutineContext.job.join() // wait for server to finish
- multiplatform-chat - chat implementation with JVM/JS/Native server and JVM/JS/Native client with shared classes and shared data serialization using kotlinx.serialization
From RSocket protocol:
Reactive Streams semantics are used for flow control of Streams, Subscriptions, and Channels. This is a credit-based model where the Requester grants the Responder credit for the number of PAYLOADs it can send. It is sometimes referred to as "request-n" or "request(n)".
kotlinx.coroutines
doesn't truly support request(n)
semantic, but it has flexible CoroutineContext
which can be used to achieve something similar. rsocket-kotlin
contains RequestStrategy
coroutine context element, which defines, strategy for sending of requestN
frames.
Example:
//assume we have client val client: RSocket = TODO() //and stream val stream: Flow<Payload> = client.requestStream(Payload("data")) //now we can use `flowOn` to add request strategy to context of flow //here we use prefetch strategy which will send requestN for 10 elements, when, there is 5 elements left to collect //so on call `collect`, requestStream frame with requestN will be sent, and then, after 5 elements will be collected //new requestN with 5 will be sent, so collect will be smooth stream.flowOn(PrefetchStrategy(requestSize = 10, requestOn = 5)).collect { payload: Payload -> println(payload.data.readString()) }
