How Does SignalR work?

• It has a concept of transportation. Each transport decides, how data will send or receive and how it will connect and disconnect.
• It is a reflection of a connection. It gives you 2 programming models over that connection.
• It handles connection management automatically and lets you broadcast messages to every single associated customer simultaneously like a chat room. The connection between the client and server is persistent, unlike a classic HTTP connection, which is re-established for each communication.
