About

The Web Audio API is a browser API for processing and generating audio in web applications.

It uses a modular audio graph built from interconnected audio nodes, supports audio from media files, streams, microphones, and oscillators, and provides real-time effects, filters, and 3D positional audio.

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.
