Socket.io v4 or websockets in 2023 - which should you use? - socket.io #1

Socket.io is built on top of websockets. If you use socket.io, you are using Websockets. If that's the case, why not just use websockets? Is there an advantage to using socket.io? Let me explain :)

That packet buffering feature seems underrated. Like with plain websockets, will a reconnected client essentially just miss a bunch of messages?

[@goodmorningdevelopers]

I totally agree. The answer is sort of... :) It doesn't buffer by default so they'd be lost,, but you could implement a catch up yourself; keep things stored on the server and distribute, but you'd have to make it. That's the point of socket.io. Thanks for commenting!
