M1502: Implementing the WebSocket API

This project concentrates on implementing Rust WebSocket API for Mozilla's web browser engine, Servo. The project work involved making the Servo's script depend on WebSocket crate.

Introduction to Mozilla Servo

Servo is a Web Browser engine written in Rust. Servo is an experimental project build that targets new generation of hardware: mobile devices, multi-core processors and high-performance GPUs to obtain power efficiency and maximum parallelism.

Rust

Rust is a Systems programming language built in Rust itself that is fast, memory safe and multithreaded, but does not employ a garbage collector or otherwise impose significant runtime overhead. Rust is able to provide both control over hardware and safety which is not the case with other programming languages like C, C++, Python that provide only either control or safety but not both.
