Description

Currently, rust-websocket provides the all features from a single crate, but in the case of using only certain features (like encoding/decoding data frames) most of these features are unneeded.

It is desirable to extract some components which do not depend on the higher level implementations (such as client and server) as independent crates.

Research direction

Start by mapping the current single-crate components and their dependencies, especially frame encoding and decoding versus client and server implementations. Determine which lower-level components can stand alone without higher-level dependencies. Done means the selected core features are available as independent crates while the existing functionality remains usable.
