Socket.IO

Top Pro

Graceful degradation

If websockets is not available (Firewall or old browser) it automatically switches to other mechanisms that mimic sockets. And you don't have to worry about it, you use the same API as if you always have sockets available. See More

Falls back to long polling or other techniques in case websockets are not supported. See More
