About This Series
I’m trying to understand how WebSockets work under the hood, so I’m starting from scratch and implementing them myself. I might not cover everything, but I’ll try to focus on the fundamentals because I believe that once the fundamentals are clear, it becomes much easier to understand the more complex parts.
I’ll keep adding more chapters as I learn more about WebSockets.
What You’ll Learn
- WebSocket handshake
- WebSocket frame parser
