Socket.IO is a JavaScript library that enables real-time, bidirectional communication between web clients and servers, built on top of WebSockets with fallback options for older browsers. Web developers use it to build features like live chat, collaborative editing, and real-time notifications in Node.js applications. It handles connection management, automatic reconnection, and event-based messaging out of the box.
