A Socket specifies a network address and port via which the application can communicate to the process on the network. Sockets are low-level programming interfaces that are commonly used for developing real-time, bi-directional communication between applications.
REST and Sockets are both used to create networked applications. REST (Representational State Transfer) is a Software Architecture style that defines a set of constraints and properties for creating web servicesREST uses a stateless request-response model wherein the server responds to a request without maintaining the previous state or data exchanged in the previous requestSockets use a bi-directional, full-duplex communication channel, which means… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
