Want to build real-time chat apps, live notifications, or multiplayer games? WebSockets enable fast, bidirectional communication between the client and server without repeated HTTP requests.

Unlike traditional polling, WebSockets keep a persistent connection open, reducing latency and improving efficiency. They are widely used in chat applications, live stock market updates, and online gaming.

Here’s a quick look at a WebSocket connection:

const socket = new WebSocket('ws://yourserver.com');

socket.addEventListener('open', () => socket.send('Hello Server!'));
socket.addEventListener('message', (event) => console.log(event.data));
