websocket是什么

WebSocket是HTML5开始提供的一种在单个TCP连接上进行全双工通讯的协议。WebSocket通信协议于2011年被IETF定为标准RFC 6455,并由RFC7936补充规范。WebSocket API也被W3C定为标准。

WebSocket使得客户端和服务器之间的数据交换变得更加简单,允许服务端主动向客户端推送数据。在WebSocket API中,浏览器和服务器只需要完成一次握手,两者之间就直接可以创建持久性的连接,并进行双向数据传输。

背景

很多网站为了实现推送技术,所用的技术都是轮询。轮询是在特定的的时间间隔(如每1秒),由浏览器对服务器发出HTTP请求,然后由服务器返回最新的数据给客户端的浏览器。这种传统的模式带来很明显的缺点,即浏览器需要不断的向服务器发出请求,然而HTTP请求可能包含较长的头部,其中真正有效的数据可能只是很小的一部分,显然这样会浪费很多的带宽等资源。

而比较新的技术去做轮询的效果是Comet。这种技术虽然可以双向通信,但依然需要反复发出请求。而且在Comet中,普遍采用的长链接,也会消耗服务器资源。

在这种情况下,HTML5定义了WebSocket协议,能更好的节省服务器资源和带宽,并且能够更实时地进行通讯。

优点

 ● 较少的控制开销。在连接创建后,服务器和客户端之间交换数据时,用于协议控制的数据包头部相对较小。在不包含扩展的情况下,对于服务器到客户端的内容,此头部大小只有2至10字节(和数据包长度有关);对于客户端到服务器的内容,此头部还需要加上额外的4字节的掩码。相对于HTTP请求每次都要携带完整的头部,此项开销显著减少了。

 ● 更强的实时性。由于协议是全双工的,所以服务器可以随时主动给客户端下发数据。相对于HTTP请求需要等待客户端发起请求服务端才能响应,延迟明显更少;即使是和Comet等类似的长轮询比较,其也能在短时间内更多次地传递数据。

 ● 保持连接状态。与HTTP不同的是,Websocket需要先创建连接,这就使得其成为一种有状态的协议,之后通信时可以省略部分状态信息。而HTTP请求可能需要在每个请求都携带状态信息(如身份认证等)。

 ● 更好的二进制支持。Websocket定义了二进制帧,相对HTTP,可以更轻松地处理二进制内容。

 ● 可以支持扩展。Websocket定义了扩展,用户可以扩展协议、实现部分自定义的子协议。如部分浏览器支持压缩等。

 ● 更好的压缩效果。相对于HTTP压缩,Websocket在适当的扩展支持下,可以沿用之前内容的上下文,在传递类似的数据时,可以显著地提高压缩率。
