WebSockets: A Game-Changer WebSockets, according to Google, establish an interactive communication session between the user's browser and a server. Unlike traditional methods that involve polling the server for updates, WebSockets maintain a persistent connection. This allows both the client and server to initiate data exchanges at any time.

Subscribe-broadcast: This type broadcasts messages to all users, making it ideal for public notifications from administrators.
Subscribe-user: Used in our project, this subscription allows individual users to receive WebSocket notifications.
