Ok, let’s keep it as an add-on for now. I’m happy with that solution as well.
When it comes to the QML API, I do agree with Simon that having compatibility with the standard JS web sockets API is important so people can re-use code. But that doesn’t have to exclude a more declarative QML API.

Votes so far: Peter Hartmann: +1 - add-on Richard Moore: +1 - add-on Konstantin Ritt: +1 - add-on Frederik Gladhorn: +1 - add-on Lars Knoll: +1 - QtNetwork Simon Hausmann has questions regarding the QML component: "Given that there exists a web idl for Web sockets, I suggest the qml api to consist of a QML element and a Javascript constructor. The prototype and the qml element should probably have the same api, the web Standard one. It is in our interest that third-part JS code out there using web sockets can be used seamlessly in qml.” Maybe it is interesting to know that the API of QML module evolved from ‘function-based’ to ‘declarative-based’ after discussion with Alan Alpert. To me, the module feels fine, but there is of course much to say about the standard Web Sockets API as described in http://www.w3.org/TR/websockets/. I really don’t have an opinion here. Of course, for a first version the QML module can be left out until the direction is clear on this. What are your thoughts? Cheers, Kurt
