Mercure
A protocol and server for pushing real-time updates to web browsers and HTTP clients with server-sent events.
What is Mercure?
Mercure is a protocol and server implementation for pushing real-time data updates to web browsers and HTTP clients using Server-Sent Events (SSE). It solves the problem of efficiently delivering asynchronous and real-time updates from web APIs to reactive applications without the overhead of polling or complex WebSocket setups.
Developers building reactive web and mobile applications that need real-time updates from web APIs, especially those working with RESTful or GraphQL APIs who want to add live data capabilities.
Developers choose Mercure because it provides a standardized, battery-efficient, and easy-to-implement solution for real-time communications that integrates seamlessly with existing web APIs and avoids the complexity of WebSockets.
