What are websockets?

  • Communication between a client (browser) and server
  • Bidirectional (data flows both ways)
  • Allows real-time data flow

  • wiki:
    • WebSocket is a computer communications protocol, providing full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection. The WebSocket protocol was standardized by the IETF as RFC 6455 in 2011, and the WebSocket API in Web IDL is being standardized by the W3C.

    • 中文: WebSocket是一種網路傳輸協定,可在單個TCP連接上進行全雙工通訊,位於OSI模型的應用層。WebSocket協定在2011年由IETF標準化為RFC 6455,後由RFC 7936補充規範。Web IDL中的WebSocket API由W3C標準化。WebSocket使得客戶端和伺服器之間的資料交換變得更加簡單,允許伺服器端主動向客戶端推播資料。在WebSocket API中,瀏覽器和伺服器只需要完成一次交握,兩者之間就可以建立永續性的連接,並進行雙向資料傳輸。
