getting started with socket.io without nodejs?

Question

I have started working on socket.io. As i'm new to socket.io so i don't know much about it. can anyone tell me whether node is must for socket.io or not ? can we use socket.io as standalone without node or express ?

Did you check their wiki? Search for "In other languages".

You cannot use socket.io as standalone. But you can use it in Languages other than nodeJS like Eelco said.

socket.io can be used in: Erlang, Android, Java, Lua, Objective-C, C, C++, QT QML, Perl, Go, Python, Ruby, Rust, Flash, Haxe, PHP, .NET, C++/Win32 and unity3d.
