This technology proves incredibly useful in web based applications that need continuous access to server events or need to facilitate peer-to-peer communication. Although WebSockets have many advantages over many older – more established real-time communication techniques, they are rarely implemented in web applications due to support issues and the complications associated with creating a server that can interpret the complex messages that are transmitted. Therefore this project investigates the issues associated with a number of WebSocket packages and documents the development of an improved
