What are some popular TypeScript WebSocket libraries?

Some popular TypeScript WebSocket libraries include Socket.IO, ws, and uWebSockets.js. Would you like to know more about any of these?

Can you explain how to use Socket.IO with TypeScript?

Sure! To use Socket.IO with TypeScript, you first need to install the library using npm. Then, you can create a server and client setup. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a simple code example.

Here's a basic example:

// Server (server.ts) import { Server } from 'socket.io'; const io = new Server(3000); io.on('connection', (socket) => { console.log('a user connected'); });

// Client (client.ts) import { io } from 'socket.io-client'; const socket = io('http://localhost:3000'); socket.on('connect', () => { console.log('connected to server'); });

This sets up a simple WebSocket server and client.

What are the advantages of using WebSockets over HTTP?

WebSockets provide full-duplex communication, lower latency, and reduced overhead compared to HTTP, making them ideal for real-time applications.
