WebSocket.send() - Web APIs 编辑

The WebSocket.send() method enqueues the specified data to be transmitted to the server over the WebSocket connection, increasing the value of bufferedAmount by the number of bytes needed to contain the data. If the data can't be sent (for example, because it needs to be buffered but the buffer is full), the socket is closed automatically.

Syntax

WebSocket.send("Hello server!");

Parameters

data

The data to send to the server. It may be one of the following types:

USVString

A text string. The string is added to the buffer in UTF-8 format, and the value of bufferedAmount is increased by the number of bytes required to represent the UTF-8 string.

ArrayBuffer

You can send the underlying binary data used by a typed array object; its binary data contents are queued in the buffer, increasing the value of bufferedAmount by the requisite number of bytes.

Blob

Specifying a Blob enqueues the blob's raw data to be transmitted in a binary frame. The value of bufferedAmount is increased by the byte size of that raw data.

ArrayBufferView

You can send any JavaScript typed array object as a binary frame; its binary data contents are queued in the buffer, increasing the value of bufferedAmount by the requisite number of bytes.

Exceptions thrown

INVALID_STATE_ERR

The connection is not currently OPEN.

SYNTAX_ERR

The data is a string that has unpaired surrogates.

Note: Gecko's implementation of the send() method differs somewhat from the specification in Gecko 6.0; Gecko returns a boolean indicating whether or not the connection is still open (and, by extension, that the data was successfully queued or transmitted); this is corrected in Gecko 8.0.

As of Gecko 11.0, support for ArrayBuffer is implemented but not Blob data types.
