You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Socket.IO''' is an [[Event-driven architecture|event-driven]] library for real-time [[web application]]s. It enables real-time, bi-directional communication between [[Web client|web clients]] and servers. It consists of two components: a [[Client (Computing)|client]], and a [[Server (Computing)|server]]. Both components have a nearly identical [[Application programming interface|API]].

Socket.IO is also a protocol,<ref>((Cite web |url=https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-protocol |title=Socket.IO Protocol |website=GitHub |language=en |access-date=May 26, 2023))</ref> where different complying implementations of the protocol can communicate with each other. The main implementation consists of two parts: a client that runs in the [[web browser|browser]] and a server for [[Node.js]]. Apart from the main implementation, there are multiple implementations, for example, the official [[Deno (software)|Deno (JavaScript)]], [[C%2B%2B|C++]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]] , and [[Swift (programming language)|Swift]] servers.

Socket.IO primarily uses the [[WebSocket]] protocol with polling as a fallback option,<ref>((cite web|url=https://github.com/socketio/engine.io|title=socketio/engine.io|work=GitHub|date=17 January 2023 ))</ref> while providing the same interface. Although it can be used simply as a [[wrapper library|wrapper]] for WebSockets, it provides many more features, including broadcasting to multiple sockets, storing data associated with each client, and [[asynchronous I/O]].

It can be installed with the [[npm (software)|Node Package Manager]] (NPM).<ref>((cite web|url=https://npmjs.org/package/socket.io|title=socket.io|work=npmjs.org|date=31 May 2023 ))</ref>

== Overview ==
'''Socket.io''' is an open-source [[JavaScript]] library that enables real-time bidirectional communication between a server and multiple clients. It abstracts the underlying transport protocols, such as WebSocket, while providing an API for developers. Socket.io works with both Node.js on the server-side and various web browsers on the client-side.

== Applications ==
* '''Chat and Messaging Applications:''' Socket.io's real-time capabilities make it an option for building chat applications where instant messaging and presence notifications are crucial.
* '''Collaboration Tools:''' Collaborative applications, such as project management tools or collaborative editing platforms, can benefit from Socket.io's real-time communication to synchronize data and facilitate seamless collaboration among users.
* '''Real-Time Dashboards:''' Socket.io enables real-time data visualization and updates in dashboards, monitoring systems, and analytics platforms, allowing users to receive live data and updates without manual refreshing.
* '''Multiplayer Games:''' Socket.io provides the necessary infrastructure for building real-time multiplayer games, allowing players to interact with each other in real-time.

Socket.io has emerged as a JavaScript library for implementing real-time bidirectional communication in web applications. Its feature set make it an option for developers who want to build interactive, collaborative, and real-time applications. By leveraging Socket.io, developers can create engaging user experiences and unlock the potential of real-time communication in their web projects.

Socket.io works with Node.js, a server-side JavaScript runtime environment, allowing developers to run JavaScript code on the server, and enabling development of web applications using the same language on both the client and server sides.
