# Socket.io application research

Before the start of this research, for me websocket and socket.io was a synonym. But for my surprise, is not that.

Socket.io is a superset build on top of websocket. Websocket just offer 2 method, `close` and `send`. All chat room administration and manegement of subscriptions up to the application to implement. Socket.io on other hand give us this all.
