    await using var client = new SocketIoClient();

    client.Connected += (sender, args) => Console.WriteLine($"Connected: {args.Namespace}");
    client.Disconnected += (sender, args) => Console.WriteLine($"Disconnected. Reason: {args.Reason}, Status: {args.Status:G}");

    });
    client.On<ChatMessage>("user joined", message =>

    });
    client.On<ChatMessage>("typing", message =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"User typing: {message.Username}");
    });
    client.On<ChatMessage>("stop typing", message =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"User stop typing: {message.Username}");
    });
    client.On<ChatMessage>("new message", message =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"New message from user \"{message.Username}\": {message.Message}");
    });
    
    await client.ConnectAsync(new Uri("wss://socketio-chat-h9jt.herokuapp.com/"));

    await client.Emit("add user", "C# H.Socket.IO Test User");

    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(200));

    await client.Emit("typing");

    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(200));

    await client.Emit("new message", "hello");

    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(200));

    await client.Emit("stop typing");

    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));

    await client.DisconnectAsync();
}

It also supports namespaces:

// Will be sent with all messages(Unless otherwise stated).
// Also automatically connects to it.
client.DefaultNamespace = "my";

// or

// Connects to "my" namespace.
await client.ConnectAsync(new Uri(LocalCharServerUrl), cancellationToken, "my");
// Sends message to "my" namespace.
await client.Emit("message", "hello", "my", cancellationToken);

Well, I found another .Net library which works great with socket.io. It is the most updated too. Follow the below link,

Quobject/SocketIoClientDotNet

using Quobject.SocketIoClientDotNet.Client;

var socket = IO.Socket("http://localhost");
socket.On(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, () =>
{
    socket.Emit("hi");
});

socket.On("hi", (data) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine(data);
    socket.Disconnect();
});
Console.ReadLine();

Hope, it helps someone.

I tried all of the above but somehow they doesn't talk with the service I am integrating with (maybe the service is bugged, I don't know which). So I wrote my own.

A minimalistic, single-file client implementation. Since socket-io is a dying technology, and the specification is quite complicated, bugs on either side might just never get fixed at any time. A single file approach is at least easier to tune, expand and debug.
