WebSocket Information
WebSocket is a communication protocol that provides full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection. It's designed to be implemented in web browsers and web servers but can be used by any client or server application.
Unlike HTTP, which is stateless and primarily follows a request-response pattern, WebSockets allow for persistent, bidirectional communication between client and server. This makes them ideal for applications that require real-time updates or continuous data exchange.
