WebSocket
WebSocket is a bidirectional, message-oriented streaming transport between a client and a server. It is a built in TCP that uses an HTTP upgrade handshake. WebSocket is a message-based transport. Its simple and minimal API abstracts all the complexity and provides the following extra services for free:
- The same-origin policy enforcement
- Interoperability with the existing HTTP infrastructure
- Message-oriented communication
