WebSockets or REST APIs — Modern PHP DevelopmentCategory: PHP, api, javascript
This article walks us through the advances in dynamic web development, and how we can improve the dynamic nature of our web apps.
Send a request for a page, wait, get the content of the page — content already hand-typed by the web developer.
This conventional REST API — Stateless protocol is perfect — as long as your application doesn't require a constant exchange of server-client data.
This characteristic shows in delay in retrieving information, which could stack up over time, and probably results in large chunks of time-lapse.
As mentioned earlier, this is not a tutorial on how to implement the WebSocket API in PHP.
