On: Discord Reduced WebSocket Traffic by 40%

[nojvek]

I assume it’s mostly because it’s way easier to debug json over websockets and http with browser devtools instead of custom protocols.

Custom protocol would be binary.

They could make a custom extension but it wouldn’t be that easy.

I worked on browser devtools for IE and edge.

Even chrome/vscode use jsonrpc over websockets for ease of development.
