Socket.IO is a JavaScript library for real-time web applications. It allows communications between clients and servers over the internet to be "real-time" and "bi-directional". According to the tutorial linked below:
It has two parts: a client-side library that runs in the browser, and a server-side library for node.js. Both components have an identical API.
A real-time application (or RTA) is an app that does things that seem "instant" to the user. Examples include: instant messengers, push notifications, collaboration applications, and online gaming.
