WebSocket Communication
Provides a low-overhead communication channel between server and client.
Automatic Reconnection
Automatically tries to reconnect if the connection is lost.
Fallback to HTTP Long-Polling
Ensures reliable communication even when WebSocket is not possible.
Scalability
Easily scales to multiple servers and sends events to all connected clients.
