#### WebSocket test as a client

**Socketee** is a cross-platform desktop application built with Electron designed to simplify WebSocket client testing. Whether you are developing real-time APIs, IoT services, or GraphQL subscriptions, Socketee provides all the essential tools to connect, transmit payloads, and inspect server responses in real time.

✨ Features

* 📑 **Multi-Tab Workspace**: Open and manage multiple simultaneous WebSocket connections independently across customizable tabs.
* 🧪 **Built-in Mock WebSocket Server**: Spin up a local WebSocket test server with a single click to instantly test connectivity, send payloads, and verify message exchange without needing external backend services.
* 🔌 **Sub-Protocol Negotiation**: Seamlessly pass custom sub-protocols (such as `graphql-ws`, `soap`, `mqtt`, or custom tokens) during connection handshake.
* 🔍 **Smart Response Inspector**:
  + **JSON Tree Explorer**: Interactive, expandable visualization for structured JSON responses.
  + **Raw / Text / XML Mode**: Native support for plain text, strings, XML, and non-JSON payloads without parsing errors.
* 🕒 **Message Stream History**: Real-time chronological audit trail of all incoming (📥) and outgoing (📤) messages with timestamps and quick-inspect capabilities.
* 💾 **Session Persistence**: Save and restore individual tabs or your entire workspace configuration so you never lose your testing setup.
* 🛠️ **Payload Helpers**: Built-in JSON beautifier and sample payload generators for rapid prototyping.
