Description

## Summary

Allow developers to connect to web sockets to build apps that can subscribe to events and real-time databases.

## Motivation

Reddit comment: I'm missing an option to communicate over a web socket. I.e streaming a log file and/or sending multiple responses from my API would be super useful. Also, would sending and receiving messages from MQTT be a feasible feature?

It'll be useful for dashboards where data is updated in real-time.
Users could also add a chat window.
