What applications use WebSockets?
HTML 5 APPLICATIONS.
WebSockets are used in almost every web interface powered by HTML 5. This includes messaging and chat services, browser-based games and any website that needs to provide real-time updated information.
What is a WebSocket example?
Here's an example: let socket = new WebSocket("wss://javascript.info/article/websocket/demo/hello"); socket. onopen = function(e) alert("[open] Connection established"); alert("Sending to server"); socket. send("My name is John"); ; socket.
How WhatsApp uses WebSockets?
WhatsApp uses a highly modified version of XMPP on an Ejabberd server (more on that later) to communicate with the clients. The XMPP on the client opens an SSL socket to the WhatsApp servers. All the sent messages are queued on the servers until the client opens or reconnects to this socket to retrieve the messages.
Do mobile apps use WebSockets?
WebSockets can act as a universal hub for transmitting messages between connected mobile and tablet clients. We can implement a native iOS application, which communicates with a WebSocket server just like the HTML5 JavaScript client.
