WebSocket
Protocol for bidirectional real-time communication between browser and server.
WebSocket is a network protocol that establishes a persistent, bidirectional connection between client and server over a single TCP connection. After an initial handshake over HTTP, both sides can send messages at any time.
In contrast to the classic request-response model of HTTP, WebSocket is therefore suited to real-time applications such as chats, live notifications, dashboards or collaborative tools, where data should be updated without repeated polling.
