Socket.IO Reviews

Socket io is open source and a free application which can download from node packages i personally use socket io API KEY and they work wonderfully i think every developer use socket io in their work.

The only problem is i found is its is limited period offer to use for free afterwards it will be paid and some time api doesn't work like 80 percentage work but 20 percentage it doesn't work but i think every good have some bad things woth it .

Socket io is a application for those people who are develop software and website for their work and using socket io is great experience and it helps me to grow and my business too.

Ease of use in bi-directional communication. You can easily implement it with node js.

It gets complicated with larger set of groups.

Sockets.io is solving two way communication connection for web applications.

It is a very good implementation of websockets, low latency, and easy to develop for

I would like if it had more cross platform support

It works amazing for low latency messaging and event based designs

Socket.io is a real-time application used for bi-directional communication between client and server.

It is swift compared to the REST API, SOAP API, or any communication between client and server.

Old browsers do not support it.

It is vulnerable to cross-site vulnerable attacks.

It has a deep learning curve.

Deebuging in real-time is challenging.

We created a CHAT messaging application using Socket.io; It has tremendous support and a widely available online community.

It works on the Handshaking protocol, once the connection is created We can send any number of messages between client and server

Quickest way to deliver the data to customers. Can group socket clients in different ways and connect when needed

There's nothing to dislike as such. I found all the functionality I need for my use case. Satisfied with it.

I had a use case of Industrial IoT, I had to show the live data on user dashboard. I found socket.io very helpful and did not find any alternatives

The best and most required feature is the implementation and the robustness and lightest library then any other libraries available for real-time applications. You can design the architecture the way you want.I just love it.

The hardest part is to setup SocketIO in production with sub domain, i even test this with many architecture and cloud,VPS etc even eith docker and kubernetes too but it is hard because of the internal structure of socketio.

Any realtime problems like chatting, audio calling, streaming packages, providing notifications in real time,this will help to fix many problems like i want to revoke the user's credentials ehen super admin inactive the user.

I liked that there are so many user guides on the internet to setup socket.io. So it is very easy for even a newbie to implement this due to the vast available knowledge base.

I really did not like that socket.io is not compatible with websocket. Maybe there is a solution for it and I just was not able to find it.

I have used socket.io to implement a realtime chat feature in my flutter application. The app user communicates with the other users in realtime through socket.io implemented in a nodeJS backend server.

it's powerfull for reatime chatting feature and chatbot engine

the implementation of the feature quite complicated

building chatbot for edtech

Real time chat can be easily mange by socket.io

Increased complexity cost and high-Security restrictions. Socket-based communications allow only to send packets of raw data between applications. Communication can be established with the machine requested not with another machine. Both ends should have the ability to intercept the data.

Provides flexible access to files and data over a network.

Sharing resources.

Security.

Speed.

Centralized software management.

Provide security like sending sensitive (password protected) files and programs on a network.

Socket Is is provide best as application interface for creating real time chat integration

there is no think that developer take away from socket .in . can's dislike

in socket.io the WebSocket connection is not possible, it will fall back to HTTP long-polling. And if the connection is lost, the client will automatically try to reconnect.
