I have a TCP socket server that sends data to all clients that are connected.

The server sends new data every 2 seconds.

I need to display the data from this server in web page and update it as soon as it changes or every 2 seconds.

I sure can store this data in a database and call AJAX every 2 seconds to update it.

But is there a way to fetch and display data in real time?

Websockets or [Socket.io](http://socket.io) presumably. – tadman Mar 22 '18 at 19:41
