WebSocketPro

WebSocketPro is a robust WebSocket client built on libwebsockets. Connect over ws or wss with fine-grained TLS options, send text or binary frames, and react to events straight from Blueprints..

Create a client, pass a ws:// or wss:// URL - optionally with a header map for auth tokens - and bind the message, connect and close events. Under the hood the battle-tested libwebsockets library handles TLS with the options you choose, ping/pong keep-alives maintain long-lived links, and both text and binary frames are exposed to Blueprints and C++. URL validation helpers catch malformed endpoints before they cost you a connection attempt.

WebSockets are the backbone of realtime web infrastructure, and WebSocketPro connects Unreal to all of it: live dashboards and spectator feeds, chat systems, trading or auction tickers, browser-companion experiences, and any Node.js, Go or .NET backend that already speaks WebSocket.

WebSocketPro is part of the Alpha XP networking collection for Unreal Engine 4.27-5.0+. Every feature is exposed to both Blueprints and C++, ships with styled HTML documentation, and follows one consistent API style across the whole collection. The plugin is compiled and verified against a clean UE 4.27 project, comes with a utility node pack (hashing, GUIDs, timestamps, tokens, validation), and is maintained under the Alpha XP brand with documentation hosted online..

Key Features:

- ws and wss with configurable TLS options

- Custom headers, including header-map connect node

- Ping/pong and connection lifecycle events

- Text and binary messaging

- URL validation and builder helpers

- Utility node pack: CRC32/MD5/SHA-1 hashing, GUIDs, timestamps, random tokens and hostname validation
