Socket.io
Socket.io enables bidirectional real-time communication between server and client via WebSockets with automatic fallback.
Socket.io is the standard solution for real-time web applications. The library abstracts WebSockets and provides automatic fallback to long-polling. SW Business Solutions uses Socket.io for real-time availability displays in booking systems and live admin dashboards.
