title: Is it possible to have a Node.js websocket client?
body: <p>So far I have only seen examples where an application in Node.js has been setup as a server for websockets. Usually the client is browser-based, and I have yet to see an example of a Node.js client.</p>
  
  <p>How come there are so few examples on Node.js websocket clients? 
  Alternatively, what other options are there for client-server communication?</p>
