Awesome tool which makes communicating between your applications much easier

The ability to have an easy way to connect my server with different clients (mobile, web app). I like that it is very well documented and has examples of how to use it. It has made me more productive because when I need to write new code for something new, I don't have to search through documentation trying to find how to do it. Socket.IO is easy to get started with so you can go right away. There wasn't anything I disliked about socket.io, but there were things I would have liked if I had…

Pros
  • Very detailed API Documentation
  • Great support team as far goes getting help or questions answered.
  • Easy integration into your project's source tree
  • Can be run directly inside nodeJS projects without installing dependencies separately
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Great solution as long term scalable communication

It was easy to set up with our backend services, and we were able to use it in several different ways - from simple chat rooms to complex game systems where users could interact with one another. We used it for a project that allowed people to create and share recipes for cooking with specific ingredients. There were some challenges early on getting everything working together, but once it did it worked well enough. I would recommend using socket.io if you want a robust platform that can handle

Pros
  • Easy setup
  • FastAPI support when building web apps (ease of development)
  • Highly active community! Lots going at any given time
Cons
  • Almost never
