与网络插口的事情是，你没有为新的数据轮询为你所猜测你的问题。它保持了服务器和客户端之间的开放连接。这样一来，服务器只需要当你想将数据推到服务器的新数据推送到，当到达客户端，反之亦然。您可以使用少了很多数据和处理，因为你没有定期检查的数据。此外，它更多的是实时的经验，因为服务器接收到的消息后，被传播。

The thing with web sockets is that you don't poll for new data as what you have speculated in your question. It maintains an open connection between the server and the client. That way, the server only needs to push new data to the client when it arrives and vice versa when you want to push data to the server. You use a lot less data and processing since you don't periodically check for data. Also it's more of a "realtime" experience since messages are propagated after the server receives them.
