• Uses MongoDB, mongoose for storing and querying data.
• Sharing media such as images & emojis.
• Uses RESTful web service for backend server.

How It Works ?

Once a user is loggedin an active connection opened between the client and the server so client can send and receive data. This allows real-time communication using TCP sockets. This is made possible by WebSockets(Socket.io).

The client starts by connecting to the server through a socket. Once connection is successful, client and server can emit and listen to events in realtime.
