Socket.IO and WebSockets are not the same thing. Socket.IO is a layer on top of WebSockets (and other transport layers). If you're using vanilla WebSockets in C++, you will not be able to send messages to a Socket.IO server (Socket.IO needs to do some handshaking and heartbeating and wrapping messages in appropriate ways).
If you just want WebSockets (and not all of the fallbacks for old browsers using other transports Socket.IO provides), you may want to simply use WebSockets. The ws <https://www.npmjs.com/package/ws> library is pretty standard (and is, I think, what Socket.IO uses for it's own WebSockets layer).
