Hey @litan1106. No, the broadcast plugin hasn't implemented the Laravel Echo API. But, if you make an issue with the detailed Laravel Echo API description, it could be implemented as one of the broadcast drivers.
In general, the broadcast plugin accepts different drivers (Redis, boltdb, memory, etc). The driver connects to the broadcast plugin to provide broadcast capabilities. For the Laravel Echo, that could be a similar driver.

Either of them will make things work nicely with existing frameworks.

Example:
soketi is nodejs based websocket server implements the pusher protocol. https://docs.soketi.app

No, it's not compatible, but Broadcast is just a collector of the drivers. Basically, you can implement the pubsub API interface and support any third-party framework as a broadcast driver.
