A Real-Time Web Application Solution Based on Node.js and WebSocket

Abstract

With the rapid development of computer technology, the demand for real-time information is becoming higher, many real-time web applications such as online booking system, stock trading system, instant messaging system, are supposed to send the constant changes of the server to the client in real time. On the basis of in-depth study of WebSocket protocol in HTML5 standard, this paper proposes a new real-time web application solution based on Node.js and WebSocket, aiming to significantly enhancing real-time performance, and more efficiently using the processing power of the server. Finally, the new solution is applied in the game You draw, I guess to theoretically and practically study the viability of the solution and the advantages compared to traditional solutions.
