Socket.io, often termed as Socket.IO, is a JavaScript library for real-time web applications. It is essential to provide timely feedback to users in a web application and Socket.io is best suited for these type of applications.

It is an event based bi-directional communication layer for real-time web applications, built atop Engine.IO. It has two parts: a client side library that runs in the browser, and a server side library for node.js. It abstracts various transports, comprising AJAX long-polling as well as WebSockets, into a single application programming interface (API).

Furthermore, it allows developers to send and receive data without worrying about cross-browser compatibility.

Benefits

  1. It simplifies the usage of WebSockets.
  2. It provides fail-overs when WebSockets are not supported on the browser or server.
  3. It handles the connections transparently.
  4. It features multiple server implementations with no native dependencies.
