Does javascript STOMP client work in browser/frontend js?

Question

I want to make a Java application that uses stomp over activemq and a nodejs application that serves a few webpages that will talk to each other. With events being emitted from the client webpages served up.

I know socketio comes with separately a server-side javascript and a client-side javascript API.

I see there is a node-stomp-client: https://github.com/easternbloc/node-stomp-client

Though it looks like it is used in server-side node instead of client-side javascript. Is this library actually usable both by server-side and clientside javascript? Or does STOMP websockets have a clientside javascript library that I can use in the frontend to connect/emit events to (say if the user clicks on a button in html that fires it off)?

Or should I instead not use a stomp library and just use a plain websocket library?

Answer 1

There indeed is a Javascript STOMP client implementation for browsers which is mentioned in Implementations list that is linked to at the stomp tag wiki.
