Explainer https://github.com/WICG/direct-sockets/blob/main/docs/explainer.md Specification https://wicg.github.io/direct-sockets Summary Allows web apps to establish direct transmission control protocol (TCP) and user datagram protocol (UDP) communications with network devices and systems. This API provides a modern and higher-performance alternative to the deprecated chrome.socket, chrome.sockets.tcp, chrome.sockets.tcpServer and chrome.sockets.udp APIs. This API was designed for Isolated Web Apps and will be part of a future “Intent to Ship” for that feature. It is being enabled early for Chrome Apps in order to provide developers a smooth migration path. We are confident that at this stage the design of the API is complete. Blink component Blink>Network>Direct Sockets <https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=status:open%20componentid:1456978&s=created_time:desc> Risks Interoperability and Compatibility Gecko: Negative (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/431) WebKit: No signal Web developers: Web developers report that this API meets their use cases and provides better performance than the Chrome Apps APIs it replaces due to a combination of internal implementation details and its support for TCP backpressure. Other signals: WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications? None, Direct Sockets are not available in WebViews. Debuggability Devtools Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)? No, it is only supported on desktop platforms (where Chrome Apps are available) Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md> ? No, testing for Chrome Apps is covered by Chrome browser tests. Flag name on chrome://flags None Finch feature name DirectSocketsInChromeApps Requires code in //chrome?
