WebSocketviestejä

WebSocketviestejä refers to messages exchanged over a WebSocket connection. WebSockets provide a persistent, full-duplex communication channel over a single TCP connection. This allows for real-time, two-way data transfer between a client (typically a web browser) and a server. Unlike traditional HTTP requests, which are initiated by the client and stateless, WebSocket connections remain open, enabling the server to push data to the client proactively without the client needing to poll for updates. WebSocket messages can be of different types, including text frames and binary frames. Text frames are used for sending plain text data, such as JSON or XML, while binary frames are suitable for transmitting raw binary data like images or custom data structures. The WebSocket protocol defines a clear message framing mechanism to distinguish individual messages within the continuous stream of data. This makes it an efficient technology for applications requiring low latency and interactive communication, such as online gaming, live chat applications, and real-time data dashboards.
