# Websockets ## Introduction ### Why are we going to use websockets? With websockets you can establish a connection between the client and the server, and both can send data fast to each other. This is useful for real-time applications like for our project to plot live graphs of the data we are collecting from the sensors. ### How to use websockets There are different languages to serve websockets with, but we are going to use Python with the library `websockets`. This library is easy to use and has a lot of documentation. #### Sources: * https://websockets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html
