How to work with socket.io server in c# application?

Question

C++ / C#

Good time.
It was required to implement live data in a .NET application. I remembered such a wonderful project as Socket.IO. Since the server is based on nodejs, it was logical to focus on it. I tried to find a ready-made solution in the form of a C# client - the only live project I found (SocketIoClientDotNet) turned out to be incorrectly working.
Perhaps experts in the field have come across something similar. Is there an alternative to socket.io for C# and what other technologies can be used for real-time data?

protocol buffers?
To Node: https://www.npmjs.com/package/protobufjs
To dotnet: www.nuget.org/packages/protobuf-net (not sure if this package is the best option, but seems to be the most popular one)
