+// Package websocket implements the WebSocket protocol defined in RFC 6455.
+//
+// Overview
+//
+// The Conn type represents a WebSocket connection. A server application uses
+// the Upgrade function from an Upgrader object with a HTTP request handler
+// to get a pointer to a Conn:
+//
+// var upgrader = websocket.Upgrader{
+// ReadBufferSize: 1024,
+// WriteBufferSize: 1024,
+// }
+//
+// func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+// conn, err := upgrader.Upgrade(w, r, nil)
+// if err != nil {
+// log.Println(err)
+// return
+// }
+// ... Use conn to send and receive messages.
+// }
+//
+// Call the connection's WriteMessage and ReadMessage methods to send and
+// receive messages as a slice of bytes. This snippet of code shows how to echo
+// messages using these methods:
+//
+// for {
+// messageType, p, err := conn.ReadMessage()
+// if err != nil {
+// return
+// }
+// if err = conn.WriteMessage(messageType, p); err != nil {
+// return err
+// }
+// }
+//
+// In above snippet of code, p is a []byte and messageType is an int with value
+// websocket.BinaryMessage or websocket.TextMessage.
+//
+// An application can also send and receive messages using the io.WriteCloser
+// and io.Reader interfaces. To send a message, call the connection NextWriter
+// method to get an io.WriteCloser, write the message to the writer and close
+// the writer when done. To receive a message, call the connection NextReader
+// method to get an io.Reader and read until io.EOF is returned. This snippet
+// shows how to echo messages using the NextWriter and NextReader methods:
+//
+// for {
+// messageType, r, err := conn.NextReader()
+// if err != nil {
+// return
+// }
+// w, err := conn.NextWriter(messageType)
+// if err != nil {
+// return err
+// }
+// if _, err := io.Copy(w, r); err != nil {
+// return err
+// }
+// if err := w.Close(); err != nil {
+// return err
+// }
+// }
+//
+// Data Messages
+//
+// The WebSocket protocol distinguishes between text and binary data messages.
+// Text messages are interpreted as UTF-8 encoded text. The interpretation of
+// binary messages is left to the application.
+//
+// This package uses the TextMessage and BinaryMessage integer constants to
+// identify the two data message types. The ReadMessage and NextReader methods
+// return the type of the received message. The messageType argument to the
+// WriteMessage and NextWriter methods specifies the type of a sent message.
+//
+// It is the application's responsibility to ensure that text messages are
+// valid UTF-8 encoded text.
+//
+// Control Messages
+//
+// The WebSocket protocol defines three types of control messages: close, ping
+// and pong. Call the connection WriteControl, WriteMessage or NextWriter
+// methods to send a control message to the peer.
+//
+// Connections handle received close messages by sending a close message to the
+// peer and returning a *CloseError from the the NextReader, ReadMessage or the
+// message Read method.
+//
+// Connections handle received ping and pong messages by invoking callback
+// functions set with SetPingHandler and SetPongHandler methods. The callback
+// functions are called from the NextReader, ReadMessage and the message Read
+// methods.
+//
+// The default ping handler sends a pong to the peer. The application's reading
+// goroutine can block for a short time while the handler writes the pong data
+// to the connection.
+//
+// The application must read the connection to process ping, pong and close
+// messages sent from the peer. If the application is not otherwise interested
+// in messages from the peer, then the application should start a goroutine to
+// read and discard messages from the peer. A simple example is:
+//
+// func readLoop(c *websocket.Conn) {
+// for {
+// if _, _, err := c.NextReader(); err != nil {
+// c.Close()
+// break
+// }
+// }
+// }
+//
+// Concurrency
+//
+// Connections support one concurrent reader and one concurrent writer.
+//
+// Applications are responsible for ensuring that no more than one goroutine
+// calls the write methods (NextWriter, SetWriteDeadline, WriteMessage,
+// WriteJSON) concurrently and that no more than one goroutine calls the read
+// methods (NextReader, SetReadDeadline, ReadMessage, ReadJSON, SetPongHandler,
+// SetPingHandler) concurrently.
+//
+// The Close and WriteControl methods can be called concurrently with all other
+// methods.
+//
+// Origin Considerations
+//
+// Web browsers allow Javascript applications to open a WebSocket connection to
+// any host. It's up to the server to enforce an origin policy using the Origin
+// request header sent by the browser.
+//
+// The Upgrader calls the function specified in the CheckOrigin field to check
+// the origin. If the CheckOrigin function returns false, then the Upgrade
+// method fails the WebSocket handshake with HTTP status 403.
+//
+// If the CheckOrigin field is nil, then the Upgrader uses a safe default: fail
+// the handshake if the Origin request header is present and not equal to the
+// Host request header.
+//
+// An application can allow connections from any origin by specifying a
+// function that always returns true:
+//
+// var upgrader = websocket.Upgrader{
+// CheckOrigin: func(r *http.Request) bool { return true },
+// }
+//
+// The deprecated Upgrade function does not enforce an origin policy. It's the
+// application's responsibility to check the Origin header before calling
+// Upgrade.
