WebTransport: The Next-Level Web Socket
Imagine a Swiss Army knife for real-time web comms—WebTransport lives up to the hype by letting you multiplex reliable and “fire-and-forget” (unreliable) streams all in one TLS-secured connection. Built on top of HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, it tackles WebSocket’s one-size-fits-all model and gRPC’s strict reliability, giving you low-latency, bidirectional magic without breaking a sweat.
Under the hood, you get:
- True client↔server push without hacky workarounds
- Mixed traffic types (chatty control messages vs. live video/data dumps)
- Full encryption courtesy of modern HTTP versions
Basically, if you’re tired of “almost there” web protocols, WebTransport is the real deal for next-gen apps.
