Websocket Playground

WebSocket Playground is a lightweight web application built for testing and debugging WebSocket servers in a more convenient way. The project was created to simplify the process of inspecting real-time WebSocket communication without needing to rely on browser developer tools.

The application supports both raw text messages and structured JSON data, making it flexible for different types of WebSocket APIs and event-driven systems. One of the main focuses of the project was creating a clean and easy-to-use interface for monitoring live communication between the client and server.

To make debugging easier, the app includes:

• Real-time event logging
• Structured message inspection
• Separate tabs for connection events and detailed data
• Support for both raw and JSON-based communication

This project was also an exploration into real-time frontend architecture, WebSocket communication handling, and building developer tooling focused on usability and debugging experience.
