JarCastingThe CometD Project
Welcome to the CometD Project, a scalable comet (server push) and websocket messaging library for the web.
This repository mirrors the JavaScript sources hosted at the main CometD repository. Those JavaScript sources are not suitable to be consumed with NPM, and are therefore re-arranged in this repository for to make it simpler to use CometD with NPM.
