Mengenal WebSocket: Protokol Real-Time untuk Aplikasi Modern Muh Ilham Wahyu Fajar milhamwf461@gmail.com ABSTRAK WebSocket is an advanced communication protocol designed to support continuous, bidirectional, and real-time interaction between clients and servers through a single long-lived connection. In contrast to the conventional HTTP model, which operates on a request-response cycle and often introduces delays and overhead, WebSocket maintains an always-open channel for seamless data exchange. This paper introduces the core principles of WebSocket technology, outlines its main advantages over traditional HTTP, and presents several practical use cases, including real-time chat systems, online multiplayer games, and instant notification platforms. Additionally, a basic implementation example is provided to illustrate how WebSocket functions in a real-world scenario. The findings emphasize WebSocket’s significance in building modern, interactive, and ...
