WebSocket is a communication protocol providing full-duplex communication over a single, persistent connection initiated after an HTTP handshake. Unlike traditional HTTP, it allows for real-time, bi-directional data exchange between a client and a server without the overhead of repeated request-response cycles. It should be used in applications where instantaneous updates are critical, making traditional HTTP polling inefficient due to latency and resource consumption. Common use cases include live chat applications, online gaming platforms, stock tickers, and collaborative editing tools. WebSocket excels when low latency and high-frequency data exchange are paramount for a seamless and interactive user experience. More details: https://t.me/s/fourmamacomua
