To build real time web applications one of the simplest technique is to use MEAN with Socket.io. Building a chat application has become a need because this is the simple way by which people get connected with one another anytime, anywhere. Also, there are many ways through which we can implement the chat application rather than socket.io and MEAN, but all of the web application stacks is traditionally very hard to indulge. So, the way to make your chat based web application not complicated anymore we have a combination of MEAN and Socket.io with us, which provides a pure solution to the client and make a perfect real time web application.

MEAN is basically used for implementing web applications in an easier way and we use node.js for that which will quickly build the real time chat communication server for both client and server. The functioning of MEAN notifies the that all of our clients are connected in a certain event which we call as real time communication between client and server. The node.js is one of the hottest part of MEAN technology that brings a lot of new and exciting features which can be implemented easily and easy to use. So, to build the chat application easily, effectively and efficiently one must first use node.js as its key element to setup the server-side HTML pages.

After implementing node.js from MEAN for the start of the chat application we have to create, our main goal is to setup a Javascript library for implementing the real time web application. It brings two-way communication that is between client and server, client-side runs in the browser and server-side in node.js. We use MEAN and socket.io to make it an event driven component in which user can chat online or in realtime. Socket.io brings many fallback options consists of WebSocket protocol, identical APIs, wrapper, asynchronous I/O and much more. By using Socket.io, we can implement chat based applications, instant messaging, documentation, real-time communication, online streaming and much more.

By combining these two individuals, a complete chat based web solution is created which provides the user a facility to chat, communicate, collaborate, share, and help different people to go social. If anyone has made the chat application for the first time then it is a very good option to use MEAN and Socket.io as their key components. The combination of these bring an easy way to create a real-time chat based web application, this is the reason why these days people are going for MEAN rather than any other stack development method for the web.

Canopus is also an app development company and hence uses many of the stacks for Web development, the main of them are MEAN stack and Socket.io from Javascript library to implement the chat based applications for users. We have built many chat based applications where we have implemented all the features needed to make a successful real-time chat based application by using MEAN and Socket.io. Hence, we can say that the use of all these techniques have been increased a lot in the market and also can be a game changer for many of the industries using chat based real-time communication.
