Provides a WebSocket-like JavaScript API for browser-to-server communication, ensuring connectivity across various browser environments, even behind restrictive proxies.
SockJS-client offers a coherent, cross-browser JavaScript API that closely mimics the HTML5 WebSockets API. It attempts to use native WebSockets first, then falls back to various browser-specific transport protocols, creating a low latency, full-duplex channel. This client library is typically installed via `npm` and requires a server-side counterpart, like `sockjs-node`, to establish connections.
