WebSocket

networking

A communication protocol providing full-duplex channels over a single TCP connection

Pronunciation

Correct

WEB-sock-it

/ˈwɛb ˌsɒkɪt/

Pronounced as two words: 'web' and 'socket'. RFC 6455 defines the WebSocket protocol and the IETF documentation uses this natural compound word pronunciation.
