How do I use betty bio to stream an endless number of json messages?

Question

I would like to stream realtime json data to a client via http/wss/socket or the like using netty. I can't seem to find any samples, examples or documentation that seems to even reference this type of functionality and how to implement it. Does it exist in netty?

Maybe you could take a look at the examples within Netty as:

• https://github.com/netty/netty/tree/4.1/example/src/main/java/io/netty/example/http/websocketx/server

• https://github.com/netty/netty/tree/4.1/example/src/main/java/io/netty/example/http/upload

You can either inspire your code from the Json Codec (https://github.com/netty/netty/tree/4.1/codec/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/json), or using the body part of the request (http) or the content of the websocket as a String to parse as a Json using your preferred Json parser.
