> A more advanced technique consists in a client side framework like Angular

I always thought that the benefit of Web sockets was that the action can be initiated from the server.

I don't see the big difference to the AJAX/DOM point I listed.

Or what's the advancement here?

Speed?

    Avoid polling. Changed content is pushed to the client. This is AJAX based anyway.

      I think it would be fantastic to see some demo code for that here.

        I was afraid somebody would ask :-)

        Some years ago I wrote such an application using AngularJS and Mojolicious::Lite. It's still running but I need to strip it down to a small demo. Maybe corona gives me the time to do that.

        Have some patience.

      Sure, but again:

      what for would one want this? Speed?

        In my case to avoid unnecessary traffic, especially for generated images.

        I can't tell how "smooth" your approach works. The push initiated update happens almost invisible.
