Socket.io is a popular real-time communication library that enables real-time, bi-directional communication between web clients and servers. It uses WebSocket as a transport mechanism but falls back to older polling methods for compatibility. Compared to @firebase/webchannel-wrapper, socket.io is more versatile in terms of transport support and is not tied to any specific backend service.
SignalR is a library for ASP.NET developers that simplifies the process of adding real-time web functionality to applications. Like @firebase/webchannel-wrapper, it supports real-time bi-directional communication but is specifically designed for the .NET ecosystem, making it more specialized compared to the more platform-agnostic approach of the Firebase package.
