Socket.IO Description
Most cases will establish a connection with WebSocket. This provides a low-overhead communication channel that connects the server to the client. You can rest assured! If the WebSocket connection fails, it will default to HTTP long-polling. If the connection is lost, the client automatically tries to reconnect. You can easily scale to multiple servers and send events directly to all clients. Socket.IO allows low-latency bidirectional and event-based communication between a client or server. It is built on top the WebSocket protocol. It provides additional guarantees such as fallback to HTTP long-polling and automatic reconnection. WebSocket provides a low-latency and full-duplex channel between the browser and the server. There are many Socket.IO server versions. Client implementations are available in all major languages.

Backbone.js
Backbone.js provides structure for web applications by providing models with key/value binding and custom events. It also provides collections with rich APIs of enumerable function, views with declarative handling and views with declarative event handling. All this is connected to your existing API via a RESTful JSON interface. One of the most important things to do when working on a web app that uses a lot JavaScript is to stop tying data to the DOM. It is easy to create JavaScript apps that are tangled with jQuery selectors or callbacks. They all try to keep the data in sync between your HTML UI, JavaScript logic, and your database. A more structured approach is often better for rich client-side apps. Backbone lets you represent your data in Models. These Models can be created, validated and destroyed, and saved to the server.

websockets
Implementation of the WebSocket Protocol. RFC 6455 & RFC 7692. websockets is an open-source library that allows you to build WebSocket clients and servers in Python. It focuses on correctness and simplicity, robustness and performance. It is built on top of Python's standard asynchronous I/O framework asyncio and provides an elegant coroutine-based API. websockets has been rigorously tested to ensure compliance with RFC 6455. Continuous integration fails below 100% branch coverage. websockets was designed for production. It was the first library to correctly handle backpressure before the issue became well-known in the Python community. Memory usage is optimized and configurable. C extensions accelerate expensive operations. It is pre-compiled for Linux and macOS and packaged in the wheel format according to each Python version. websockets handles everything so you can concentrate on your application.
