Description

Transports must be dynamic to provide transports independently.
In my opinion, by making dynamic transports, it is possible to add custom transports such as tcp, mqtt gprc, etc.

But this issue is not implemented in engine.io (or there is no suitable document for it)

Solution
I think providing transport independently, such as engineio-websocket-transport, could be better than the current situation and make it possible to implement different transports.

Research direction

Start by reviewing engine.io's existing transport implementation and documentation, since the issue names no files or tests. Define the integration boundary for independently provided transports and document or demonstrate how custom transports such as TCP or MQTT would be supported; the issue is done when that design is implemented and usable.
