Once established, the connection remains open for further communication. + +```javascript +// JavaScript example +const socket = new WebSocket('ws://example.com/socket'); +``` + +### WebSocket URL + +The WebSocket URL consists of the WebSocket scheme (`ws` or `wss` for secure), the host, and optional path. For example: +- `ws://example.com/socket` +- `wss://secure.example.com/chat` + +## Communication Protocol + +### WebSocket Handshake + +During the WebSocket handshake, the client sends an HTTP request, and the server responds with an HTTP 101 status code, indicating a successful upgrade to WebSocket. + +### Data Frames + +WebSocket communication occurs through data frames. Frames can be text, binary, or control frames for various purposes. + +```javascript +// Sending a message +socket.send('Hello, WebSocket!'); + +// Handling incoming messages +socket.onmessage = (event) => { + const message = event.data; + console.log('Received:', message); +}; +``` + +## Security Considerations + +### Secure WebSocket (WSS) + +For secure communication, use the `wss` scheme. This encrypts the data exchanged between the client and server. + +### Authentication + +Implement proper authentication mechanisms to secure your WebSocket connections. Authenticate users or devices based on your application's requirements. + +## Advanced Features + +### Subprotocols + +WebSocket allows the use of subprotocols to define a specific communication protocol between the client and server. + +### Ping/Pong Frames + +Ping and pong frames can be used to check the health of the WebSocket connection and detect potential issues. + +## Client and Server Implementations + +### JavaScript (Client) + +For JavaScript clients, use the native `WebSocket` API in web browsers. + +```javascript +const socket = new WebSocket('ws://example.com/socket'); +``` + +### Node.js (Server) + +In Node.js, use libraries like `ws` for WebSocket server implementation. + +```javascript +const WebSocket = require('ws'); +const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 8080 }); + +wss.on('connection', (socket) => { + console.log('Client connected'); +}); +``` + +## Troubleshooting + +### Common Issues + +- Ensure correct WebSocket URL. +- Check for proper server implementation. +- Verify WebSocket handshake responses. + +### Handling Errors + +Handle errors gracefully by listening to the WebSocket `onerror` event. + +```javascript +socket.onerror = (error) => { + console.error('WebSocket Error:', error); +}; +``` + +This documentation provides a basic understanding of WebSocket. Refer to the [WebSocket RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455) for detailed specifications. +``` From 265aeba5e8c6196175a99003275816545a9594cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: SNEHA CHAUHAN Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2024 07:58:27 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Documentation on AuthO --- AuthO.md | 150 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 150 insertions(+) create mode 100644 AuthO.md diff --git a/AuthO.md b/AuthO.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ef4270a --- /dev/null +++ b/AuthO.md @@ -0,0 +1,150 @@ +# Auth0 Documentation + +## Overview + +Auth0 is a robust identity platform that simplifies user authentication and authorization in your applications.
