websockets unfortunately have to start at the HTTP layer and negotiate down to the TCP wrapper layer, so you need at least a partial HTTP stack and everything else that involves to get there. This complicates things a lot. It's like stuffing a turkey, cooking it, then throwing away the meat to just eat the stuffing. In my experience, Boost Beast[1] is the easiest library to just get going with but you have to deal with all the Boost-isms that comes with. libwebsockets is the 'standard' C implementation but unless you know the websocket RFC front to back it's quite difficult to work with and has a lot of foot-guns.
