WebSocket
Websocket is a communications protocol, providing full-duplex bi-directional communication over a single TCP connection.
To understand Websockets, first, we have to have a clear understanding of HTTP protocol cause both go hand in hand.
HTTP is a protocol which allows the fetching of resources, such as HTML documents. It is the foundation of any data exchange on the Web and it is a client-server protocol, which means requests are initiated by the recipient, usually the Web browser.
HyperText Transfer Protocol is an application layer is a stateless application-level protocol where generally client requests information with headers using actions like GET, POST, PUT … and server sends the response back to the client and the connection is closed.
