+Aiohttp
+~~~~~~~
+
+`Aiohttp <http://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/>`_ is a framework with support for HTTP
+and WebSocket, based on asyncio. Support for this framework is limited to Python
+3.5 and newer.
+
+Instances of class ``engineio.AsyncServer`` will automatically use aiohttp
+for asynchronous operations if the library is installed. To request its use
+explicitly, the ``async_mode`` option can be given in the constructor::
+
+    sio = socketio.AsyncServer(async_mode='aiohttp')
+
+A server configured for aiohttp must be attached to an existing application::
+
+    app = web.Application()
+    sio.attach(app)
+
+The aiohttp application can define regular routes that will coexist with the
+Socket.IO server. A typical pattern is to add routes that serve a client
+application and any associated static files.
+
+The aiohttp application is then executed in the usual manner::
