Talk:Socket.IO

JSONP polling
From this article's current version:


 * "Socket.IO [...] can fallback on multiple other methods, such as Adobe Flash sockets, JSONP polling, and AJAX long polling [...]."

What is JSONP polling, with respect to AJAX long polling? --Abdull (talk) 14:24, 6 August 2013 (UTC)


 * As I understand it, JSONP polling inserts tags to load JSONP responses, while AJAX polling creates XMLHttpRequests to load JSON responses. The JSONP option is useful for when XRHs are impossible, possibly due to browser support, possibly due to CORS concerns.

It's a JavaScript library and a transport
The introduction says one thing, the Disadvantages sections says another. There are various Socket.IO client libraries for other languages, so I guess Socket.IO is both the "reference" JavaScript implementation and the "custom realtime that this library implements on top of other realtime protocols." -- SPage (WMF) (talk) 05:08, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Cleanup
I tagged this article because it reads like an advertisement and almost exclusively cites the framework's own documentation as references. I'll come back and work on it when I have more time. Pianoman320 (talk) 06:30, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles
Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...

Collaboration...
If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by WikiProject JavaScript and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.

Where to list JavaScript articles
We've found over 300 JavaScript-related articles so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.

User scripts
The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), let us know!

If you have need for a user script that does not yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at User scripts/Requests. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.

How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention
If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention.

Rating JavaScript articles
At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.

Thank you. The Transhumanist 01:14, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
