- A WebSocket is a bi-directional, message-based data transport that can be used in the browser.
- It is a very simple protocol, basically a thin wrapper over TCP. Can be implemented in one day.
- There is not much overhead compared to other protocols, the message framing is very small.
The WebSocket protocol is described by RFC 6455.
