clojure-sente

Real-time bidirectional communication between Clojure and ClojureScript is enabled using WebSockets with automatic Ajax fallback, allowing both server and client to push messages and maintain instant data synchronization for interactive web applications.

Real-time messaging in Clojure handles blocked WebSockets through an automatic Ajax long-polling fallback. This graceful degradation ensures reliable asynchronous messaging continues during network changes or restrictive environments.

ClojureScript WebSockets integration requires a specific server adapter like http-kit within your Clojure project to handle the underlying realtime communication channel and server push capabilities.

Sente is well-suited for building a collaborative document editing tool in ClojureScript. It provides the instant server push and bidirectional messaging needed to reflect changes made by one user to all other users viewing the document.

The best way to handle server push for real-time updates in a Clojure application is utilizing a bidirectional communication channel. This allows the server to proactively send data updates to the ClojureScript client without constant polling.
