What is a web socket?
Web sockets allow us to open a two-way interactive communication channel between the client and a server so that you can send messages to a server and receive event-driven responses without polling the server for a reply.
A simple example would be a chat application, where the users at either end (sender and receiver) can send one or more messages to each other without waiting for each other’s response.
