Server-Sent Events SSE

Web På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-23

One-way real-time communication from server to browser — like WebSocket but unidirectional, over plain HTTP.

Great for "live" updates, push notifications, AI streaming responses. Simpler than WebSocket, automatic reconnection. Uses the text/event-stream content type.
