#Usage example

##Server

    Configuration config = new Configuration();
    config.setHostname("localhost");
    config.setPort(81);
    config.setListener(handler);

    SocketIOServer server = new SocketIOServer(config);
    server.addMessageListener(new DataListener<String>() {
        @Override
        public void onData(SocketIOClient client, String message) {
            ...
        }
    });

    String eventName = ...
    server.addEventListener(eventName, new DataListener<Object>() {
        @Override
        public void onData(SocketIOClient client, Object data) {
            ...
        }
    });

    server.addConnectListener(new ConnectListener() {
        @Override
        public void onConnect(SocketIOClient client) {
            ...
        }
    });

    server.addDisconnectListener(new DisconnectListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDisconnect(SocketIOClient client) {
            ...
        }
    });

    server.addJsonObjectListener(new DataListener<Object>() {
        @Override
        public void onData(SocketIOClient client, Object data) {

            ...

            // send object to socket.io client
            SampleObject obj = new SampleObject();
            client.sendJsonObject(obj);
        }
    });

server.start();


...


server.stop();

##Client

    <script type="text/javascript" src="socket.io.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

           var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:81', {
             'reconnection delay' : 2000,
             'force new connection' : true
           });

           socket.on('message', function(data) {
                // here is your handler on messages from server
           });

       socket.on('connect', function() {
                // connection established, now we can send an objects

                // send json-object to server
                var obj = ...
                socket.json.send(obj);
       });
