<?php
// Your shell script
use Ratchet\WebSocket\WsServer;
use Ratchet\Http\HttpServer;
use Ratchet\Server\IoServer;
use Carnage\JsonServer\JsonServer;

$ws = new WsServer(new JsonServer(new MyChat));
$ws->disableVersion(0); // old, bad, protocol version

// Make sure you're running this as root
$server = IoServer::factory(new HttpServer($ws));
$server->run();

MyChat can now send arrays of data using $conn->send(['name' => 'Fred', 'message' => 'hi']); and have them automatically json serialised. Json strings coming in from your client will be deserialised and presented to the onMessage method of MyChat as an array., _(*5)
