I'm upgrading socket.io from 1.7.x to 2.0.x on my server side.
Is 2.0.x version fully compatible with java client right now? Because i'm using socket io for my android apps.

Thanks for the response.

It seems it's not compatible yet: socketio/socket.io-client-java#421

thanks!
reverted back to 1.7.4, while waiting on java client to fully support 2.0.x.
I've tested in my android app when I was using 2.0.x. Seems like working. Socket is connected, no issues. But well, reverting back is quite wise option right now :)

@andrea11 there was an issue in 1.x version, where a packet could be utf8-encoded twice, I think most client implementations currently try to decode the packet twice (while catching any error in the 2nd decoding) as a workaround.

I am facing a similar kind of bug. I have mentioned it here socketio/socket.io-client-java#430.
