+The websocket protocol x-afb-ws-json1
+=====================================
+
+The WebSocket protocol *x-afb-ws-json1* is used to communicate between
+an application and a binder. It allows access to all registered apis
+of the binder.
+
+This protocol is inspired from the protocol **OCPP - SRPC** as described for
+example here:
+[OCPP transport specification - SRPC over WebSocket](http://www.gir.fr/ocppjs/ocpp_srpc_spec.shtml).
+
+The registration to the IANA is still to be done, see:
+[WebSocket Protocol Registries](https://www.iana.org/assignments/websocket/websocket.xml)
+
+This document gives a short description of the protocol *x-afb-ws-json1*.
+A more formal description has to be done.
+
+
+Architecture
+------------
+
+The protocol is intended to be symmetric. It allows:
+
+ - to CALL a remote procedure that returns a result
+ - to push and receive EVENT
+
+
+Messages
+--------
+
+Valid messages are made of *text* frames that are all valid JSON.
+
+Valid messages are:
+
+Calls:
+```
+[ 2, ID, PROCN, ARGS ]
+[ 2, ID, PROCN, ARGS, TOKEN ]
+```
+
+Replies (3: OK, 4: ERROR):
+```
+[ 3, ID, RESP ]
+[ 3, ID, RESP, TOKEN ]
+[ 4, ID, RESP ]
+[ 4, ID, RESP, TOKEN ]
+```
+
+Events:
+```
+[ 5, EVTN, OBJ ]
+```
+
+Where:
+
+| Field | Type | Description
+|-------|--------|------------------
+| ID | string | A string that identifies the call. A reply to that call use the ID of the CALL.
+| PROCN | string | The procedure name to call of the form "api/verb"
+| ARGS | any | Any argument to pass to the call (see afb_req_json that returns it)
+| RESP | any | The response to the call
+| TOKEN | string | The token in case of refresh
+| EVTN | string | Name of the event in the form "api/event"
+| OBJ | any | The companion object of the event
+
+Below, an example of exchange:
+
+```
+C->S: [2,"156","hello/ping",null]
+S->C: [3,"156",{"response":"Some String","jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success","info":"Ping Binder Daemon tag=pingSample count=1 query=\"null\"","uuid":"ec30120c-6997-4529-9d63-c0de0cce56c0"}}]
+```
+
+
+Future
+------
+
+Here are the planned extensions:
+
+ - add binary messages with cbor data
+ - add calls with unstructured replies
+
+This could be implemented by extending the current protocol or by
+allowing the binder to accept either protocol including the new ones.
+
+
+Javascript implementation
+-------------------------
+
+The file **AFB.js** is a javascript implementation of the protocol.
+
+Here is that code:
