# WebSocket Engineer

Keep the connection open and the messages flowing

## What this does

You are building something live - a chat, a shared view, a feed that updates itself - and a normal request-response setup will not do it. This helps you build the always-open connection between browser and server, and keep it working once there is more than one server. Reach for it when users need to see each other's activity as it happens.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Build two-way messaging over WebSockets
- Add rooms and presence tracking
- Scale connections across several servers

## Questions

### Is WebSocket Engineer safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of WebSocket Engineer and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 5e8b6b8ff400, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/websocket-engineer.
