WebSockets - Web APIs | MDN
"WebSockets are an advanced technology that makes it possible to open an interactive communication session between the user's browser and a server. With this API, you can send messages to a server and receive event-driven responses without having to poll the server for a reply."

Alternative to WebSockets are "SSE", Server-Sent events ("server push" only, not bi-directional)
