📄️ Rest API Tool
A REST API is an application programming interface that confirms to the constraints of REST architectural style and allows for interaction with RESTful web services. An API is a set of definitions and protocols for building and integrating application software. It’s sometimes referred to as a contract between an information provider and an information user—establishing the content required from the consumer (the call) and the content required by the producer (the response).
📄️ WebSocket
WebSocket is a protocol that enables real-time, two-way communication between a client (like a web browser) and a server. Unlike traditional HTTP, which requires a new connection for each request, WebSocket maintains a single, open connection. This allows for immediate data exchange, making it perfect for applications like online gaming, live chats, and financial trading.
📄️ Socket.IO
Socket.IO is a JavaScript library that facilitates real-time, bidirectional, and event-based communication between clients and servers. Built on top of WebSocket, it adds extra features for reliability, reconnection, and cross-browser compatibility, making it ideal for applications needing live updates and robust messaging.
