Description of WebSocket

WebSocket is a network communication protocol designed to establish a persistent connection between client and server. It allows both sides to exchange data in real time without repeatedly opening new connections. This approach reduces latency and server load, making WebSocket an efficient solution for systems where responsiveness is critical.

Thanks to two-way communication support, WebSocket is used in a wide range of applications: from trading platforms to game servers and monitoring systems. It is perfectly suited for features that require instant data exchange, such as live interface updates, notifications, or market quotes.
