I am looking for guide or any resource for WebSocket client protocol, there are a few, but they only seem to implement server protocol and use the web API (WebSocket) for client instead. So are there any good resources for WebSocket client protocol except the spec (which is a nightmare)?

You can review the source and documentation of this: https://github.com/gorilla/websocket
It's the gold-standard client & server impl, almost everyone using websockets in Go uses this library

Too complicated, they seem to share Conn struct for both server and client

I'm not sure what you want
vernal sapphire
The structure is a little too complicated
karmic lark
What is your goal
vernal sapphire
I want to implement just the client protocol
karmic lark
From scratch?
vernal sapphire
Yeah
karmic lark
Any particular reason or you just want to learn about it?
vernal sapphire
Just for learning
I got connection working, but I don't understand the reading messages part, the spec is unnecessarily complicated

Then your best resources are going to be spec and source. I don't think the relevant parts of gorilla/websocket are as complex as you're making out. Is there anything in particular you're struggling with? Because not liking the way it's structured doesn't mean you can't learn from it

I have setup a TCP connection, but I cannot understand the message parsing stuff
