Sending message to a specific ID in Socket.IO 1.0

Question

I want to sent data to one specific socket ID.

We used to be able to do this in the older versions:

io.sockets.socket(socketid).emit(\'message\', \'

If you have used a namespace I found that the following works :

//Defining the namespace 

var nsp = io.of('/my-namespace');

//targeting the message to socket id 

nsp.to(socket id of the intended recipient).emit('private message', 'hello');
