👉 The WebSocket (ws) project is a lightweight, bidirectional communication protocol for web applications that enables real-time, full-duplex data exchange between a client and a server. Unlike traditional HTTP, which is request-response based, WebSockets maintain a persistent connection, allowing both parties to send data at any time without the need for repeated requests. This makes WebSockets ideal for applications requiring instant updates, such as chat platforms, live feeds, and collaborative tools. The project provides a JavaScript library for developers to easily integrate WebSocket functionality into web applications, simplifying the process of setting up and managing real-time communication.
