    - #### exceptionHandler

          WebSocket exceptionHandler(Handler<Throwable> handler)

      Description copied from interface: `ReadStream`
      Set an exception handler on the read stream.

        `exceptionHandler` in interface `ReadStream<Buffer>`
      Specified by:
        `exceptionHandler` in interface `StreamBase`
      Specified by:
        `exceptionHandler` in interface `WebSocketBase`

      Parameters:
        `handler` - the exception handler
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### handler

          WebSocket handler(Handler<Buffer> handler)

      Description copied from interface: `ReadStream`
      Set a data handler. As data is read, the handler will be called with the data.
      Specified by:
        `handler` in interface `ReadStream<Buffer>`
      Specified by:
        `handler` in interface `WebSocketBase`
      Returns:

    - #### pause

          WebSocket pause()

      Description copied from interface: `ReadStream`
      Pause the `ReadSupport`. While it's paused, no data will be sent to the `dataHandler`
      Specified by:
        `pause` in interface `ReadStream<Buffer>`
      Specified by:
        `pause` in interface `WebSocketBase`
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### resume

          WebSocket resume()

      Description copied from interface: `ReadStream`
      Resume reading. If the `ReadSupport` has been paused, reading will recommence on it.
      Specified by:
        `resume` in interface `ReadStream<Buffer>`
      Specified by:
        `resume` in interface `WebSocketBase`
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### endHandler

          WebSocket endHandler(Handler<Void> endHandler)

      Description copied from interface: `ReadStream`
      Set an end handler. Once the stream has ended, and there is no more data to be read, this handler will be called.
      Specified by:
        `endHandler` in interface `ReadStream<Buffer>`
      Specified by:
        `endHandler` in interface `WebSocketBase`
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### write

          WebSocket write(Buffer data)

      Description copied from interface: `WriteStream`
      Write some data to the stream. The data is put on an internal write queue, and the write actually happens asynchronously. To avoid running out of memory by putting too much on the write queue, check the `WriteStream.writeQueueFull()` method before writing. This is done automatically if using a `Pump`.
      Specified by:
        `write` in interface `WebSocketBase`
      Specified by:
        `write` in interface `WriteStream<Buffer>`
      Parameters:
        `data` - the data to write
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### setWriteQueueMaxSize

          WebSocket setWriteQueueMaxSize(int maxSize)

      Description copied from interface: `WriteStream`
      Set the maximum size of the write queue to `maxSize`. You will still be able to write to the stream even if there is more than `maxSize` items in the write queue. This is used as an indicator by classes such as `Pump` to provide flow control.

      The value is defined by the implementation of the stream, e.g in bytes for a `NetSocket`, the number of `Message` for a `MessageProducer`, etc...
      Specified by:
        `setWriteQueueMaxSize` in interface `WebSocketBase`
      Specified by:
        `setWriteQueueMaxSize` in interface `WriteStream<Buffer>`
      Parameters:
        `maxSize` - the max size of the write stream
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### drainHandler

          WebSocket drainHandler(Handler<Void> handler)

      Description copied from interface: `WriteStream`
      Set a drain handler on the stream. If the write queue is full, then the handler will be called when the write queue is ready to accept buffers again. See `Pump` for an example of this being used.

      The stream implementation defines when the drain handler, for example it could be when the queue size has been reduced to `maxSize / 2`.
      Specified by:
        `drainHandler` in interface `WebSocketBase`
      Specified by:
        `drainHandler` in interface `WriteStream<Buffer>`
