WebSocket API

WebSocket API is a protocol for creating real-time, bi-directional, full-duplex communication channels between a client and a server over a single TCP connection. It enables web applications to send and receive data in real-time without having to rely on traditional HTTP requests and responses. The WebSocket API is supported by most modern web browsers and provides a more efficient and faster alternative to technologies such as AJAX and long polling. It is commonly used for chat applications, online gaming, and real-time data streaming. The WebSocket API is defined by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) and consists of a set of JavaScript APIs that can be used by web developers to implement real-time communication in their applications.
