Methods

`JsonSocket(options)`

`JsonSocket(port, [host])`

`JsonSocket(path)`

Create new json socket. Same as net.connect.

var socket = new JsonSocket(7000, '127.0.0.1');

`JsonSocket(socket)`

Create new json socket from existingnet.Socket

var net = require('net');
var server = net.createServer(function (con) {
    var socket = new JsonSocket(con);
}

`write(data)`

Send object over socket.

socket.write({foo: 'bar'});

`disconnect()`

Destroy connection

`connect(port, [host])`

`connect(path)`

`on(eventType, listener)`

Inherited from events.EventEmitter.

Events

connect

Emitted when socket connected (only when you pass ip, port).

json

Emitted when full json received.

socket.on('json', function (json) {
    console.log(json);
}

disconnect

Emitted when disconnected.

error

Error events are treated as a special case in node. If there is no listener for it, then the default action is to print a stack trace and exit the program.

newListener, removeListener
