## WebSocket Implementations: Basic vs Advanced
### Overview
These implementations represent **basic examples** designed for **learning purposes**. They demonstrate foundational WebSocket concepts but lack features like authentication, scalability, and advanced error handling.
---
### Basic WebSocket
- **Purpose**: Simple implementation for one-to-one communication.
- **Key Features**:
- Handles a single client at a time.
- Echoes messages back to the sender.
- Easy to implement, suitable for learning WebSocket basics.
- **Usage**:
- Best for lightweight applications where broadcasting is unnecessary.
---
### Advanced WebSocket
- **Purpose**: Introduction to multi-client communication.
- **Key Features**:
- Maintains a list of connected clients.
- Broadcasts messages to all clients.
- Utilizes `sync.Mutex` for thread-safe access to the client registry.
- **Usage**:
- Ideal for chat systems, notifications, or collaborative applications.
---
### Simulation Steps
1. **Basic**:
- Run the server and connect with a single client.
- Send messages and observe the server's direct response.
2. **Advanced**:
- Run the server and connect multiple clients.
- Send a message from one client to observe its broadcast to all connected clients.
