Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was frustrated, I created my entire server using Socket.io, and although I was using Unreal, because it is a 2D game, I was migrating to Godot, but Socket.io does not have a library compatible with GDSCript.

Describe the solution you'd like
I wish there was a Socket.io Client for the Godot Engine as well

Describe alternatives you've considered
The solution is basically simple, just create a solution (client) for Godot and so we can connect to the server

Additional context
Godot Uses GDScript which is very similar to Python, I think it will not be complex to convert the existing Library so that Godot developers use Socket.io as a Client in it

Research direction

No implementation files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by reviewing the repository's existing client and protocol entry points, then define the Godot/GDScript client scope and its compatibility with Socket.io servers; done would mean a usable client can connect and communicate with the requested server.
