WebTransport in a Nutshell
WebTransport is like HTTP/2/3 on steroids—multiplexed, TLS-protected, bidirectional streams that can be either rock-solid reliable or ultra-low-latency unreliable. It fixes WebSocket quirks, sidesteps gRPC’s overhead, and lets real-time apps (think gaming or live collaboration) run smooth over a single connection.
