Going Real-Time with RxJS
We live in a world of technology, where we want to always feel connected, and where information changes quickly. That is why it is an important requirement for modern web apps to provide us with dynamic and engaging experiences, without the need for manual browser refresh. Instant live sports event updates, smooth chat experiences, online multiplayer games, and tools where we can collaborate easily: these are all examples of real-time web apps.
One of the main technologies we can use to achieve real-time magic is WebSocket. WebSocket is a powerful technology that enables real-time, two-way communication between a web browser and a server. This persistent connection allows for instant data transfer, making it ideal for applications that require live updates and interactions. In this chapter, we will see in action WebSocket’s efficiency, low latency, and full-duplex communication capabilities, which make it a powerful tool.
But what about developer...
