Comet technology

Comet is a web technology that enables servers to send real-time updates to clients over a single, persistent connection, rather than relying on traditional polling methods. By maintaining an open connection, Comet allows websites and applications to deliver live data, such as notifications or chat messages, instantly as they happen. This approach improves efficiency and user experience by reducing latency and minimizing server load, making the interaction feel more dynamic and responsive. Essentially, Comet bridges the gap between traditional web request-response and real-time communication, enhancing interactivity in web applications.
