Why do I need long polling?

Question

Explain in your own words.

Answer 1

Hello, Omar Alex !
Long Polling is a technology that allows you to receive data about new events using "long queries". The server receives the request, but sends a response to it not immediately, but only when there is an event {for example, a new message will arrive} or the specified timeout will expire.
