About
The Geolocation API allows web applications to retrieve the user's location, including latitude and longitude. For privacy reasons, the user is asked for permission to report location information.
WebSocket is a communication protocol that enables persistent, full-duplex data exchange between a client and a server over a single TCP connection.
It maintains a long-lived connection that allows low-latency message exchange, supports both text and binary frames, minimizes overhead by avoiding repeated request headers, and enables servers to push data to clients in real time.
