JavaScript Push API 2.0 Upgraded

New UnSubscribe() Function Push API

The Top Requested Feature UnSubscribe() is now available. We implemented this function in the new JavaScript Push API 2.0 version. Many requests asking for a way to free subscription resources were sent. Now you can cleanup subscriptions by calling:

// PUBNUB.unsubscribe(args)
PUBNUB.unsubscribe({ channel : 'name_of_channel" });

Simplified JavaScript Subscribe API

Other popular requests were for API simplifications. You are no longer required to iterate over messages from the PUBNUB.subscribe() function. See the following code sample.

// PUBNUB.subscribe( args, callback )
PUBNUB.subscribe({
    channel : 'my_channel'
}, function(message) {
    // Show Message
    console.log(message);
} );

The simplification is helpful by reducing client code size. Easier adoption of the API and fewer docs to consider. We've also simplified the History API: History API Tutorial - JavaScript Push API 2.0

Performance Increase of JavaScript Push API 2.0

The 2.0 API provides a faster connection interface to our server clusters in different locales. This means faster communication internationally.

Another boost on our servers updated through memcaching data points allows faster lookup and delivery for all PUBNUB.publish() calls.

Scalability and Redundancy of JavaScript Push API 2.0

The PubNub Server Cluster is still as scalable and redundant as ever before. Pubnub will scale to facebook load and beyond. Over 100 million standing connections without delays. Today our load is more than five hundred thousand standing connections.
