WebTransport is a cutting-edge protocol framework designed to support multiplexed and secure transport over HTTP/2 and HTTP/3. It brings together the best of web and transport technologies, providing an all-in-one solution for real-time, bidirectional communication on the web.
WebTransport can handle different types of data simultaneously over a single connection, thanks to its multiplexing capabilities. This includes both reliable and unreliable transmissions, which allows it to cater to a wide variety of applications, from those demanding utmost data reliability to those requiring ultra-fast, real-time interactions.
With its inherent support for low-latency connections, WebTransport proves a boon for real-time applications. It also offers improved client-to-server communication, breaking free from the traditional model where bidirectional streams are primarily client-initiated.
Furthermore, every WebTransport connection is secured with TLS, offering a high level of data security that’s in line with modern web standards.
Being compatible with HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, WebTransport is built to leverage the widespread deployment and proven capabilities of these protocols, while paving the way for a more dynamic and interactive web. It represents a significant step forward in the evolution of backend protocols, promising to revolutionize the way we handle web communications.
