Occamy offers two APIs:

Why Occamy and how it works?

Occamy implements a generic remote desktop protocol with modern approaches. It currently performs Guacamole protocol and eventually intends to redesign and propose Occamy protocol.

The benefits of Occamy that differ from Guacamole are:

  • Authentication supports
  • Simplified architecture
  • Streaming compression and optimization
  • Modern with Go

Occamy server side currently simplifies Guacamole proxy and Guacamole servlet client in a single middleware application. Any client that involves Guacamole protocol and uses WebSocket for authentication can directly switch to interact to Occamy without any changes.
