# # @ohos.net.webSocket (WebSocket Connection)

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 6. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.


You can use WebSocket to establish a bidirectional connection between a server and a client. Before doing this, you need to use the [createWebSocket](#websocketcreatewebsocket6) API to create a [WebSocket](#websocket6) object and then use the [connect](#connect6) API to connect to the server. If the connection is successful, the client will receive a callback of the [open](#onopen6) event. Then, the client can communicate with the server using the [send](#send6) API. When the server sends a message to the client, the client will receive a callback of the [message](#onmessage6) event. If the client no longer needs this connection, it can call the [close](#close6) API to disconnect from the server. Then, the client will receive a callback of the [close](#onclose6) event.

If an error occurs in any of the preceding processes, the client will receive a callback of the [error](#onerror6) event.

## Modules to Import

```ts
import { webSocket } from '@kit.NetworkKit';
```

## Examples

```ts
import { webSocket } from '@kit.NetworkKit';
import { BusinessError } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';

let defaultIpAddress = "ws://";
let ws = webSocket.createWebSocket();
ws.on('open', (err:BusinessError, value: Object) => {
  if (err != undefined) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(err));
    return;
  }
  // When receiving the on('open') event, the client can use the send() API to communicate with the server.
  ws.send("Hello, server!", (err: BusinessError, value: boolean) => {
    if (!err) {
      console.log("send success");
    } else {
      console.log("send fail, err:" + JSON.stringify(err));
    }
  });
});
ws.on('message',(error: BusinessError, value: string | ArrayBuffer) => {
  console.log("on message, message:" + value);
  // When receiving the `bye` message (the actual message name may differ) from the server, the client proactively disconnects from the server.
  if (value === 'bye') {
    ws.close((err: BusinessError, value: boolean) => {
      if (!err) {
        console.log("close success");
      } else {
        console.log("close fail, err is " + JSON.stringify(err));
      }
    });
  }
});
ws.on('close', (err: BusinessError, value: webSocket.CloseResult) => {
  console.log("on close, code is " + value.code + ", reason is " + value.reason);
});
ws.on('error', (err: BusinessError) => {
  console.log("on error, error:" + JSON.stringify(err));
});
ws.connect(defaultIpAddress, {
  header:{
      name1: 'value1',
      name2: 'value2',
      name3: 'value3'
  },
  proxy: {

  },
  protocol: 'my-protocol',
  }, (err: BusinessError, value: boolean) => {
  if (!err) {
    console.log("connect success");
  } else {
    console.log("connect fail, err:" + JSON.stringify(err));
  }
  ws.close((err: BusinessError) => {
    if (!err) {
      console.log("close success");

**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.NetStack

**Return value**

**Example**

```ts
let ws: webSocket.WebSocket = webSocket.createWebSocket();
