WebTransport: The Next-Level Web Protocol
WebTransport is a new web protocol riding on HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 that combines real-time, bidirectional communication with strong TLS security. Forget the old WebSocket and gRPC headaches—this puppy lets you multiplex reliable and “fire-and-forget” streams over a single connection, so you get super-low latency for live games, video chats or sensor data without sacrificing reliability when you need it.
Beyond just raw speed, WebTransport works with existing infrastructure (no HTTP/1.1 hacks), offers easy upgrades via the extended CONNECT method, and sidesteps outdated patterns like HTTP/2 push. It’s basically the Swiss Army knife of modern backend transport—secure, flexible and ready to power the next wave of interactive web apps.
