This package provides TypeScript definitions for the 'ws' (WebSocket) library. These definitions enhance development by adding strong typing, enabling features like autocompletion, type checking, and improved code navigation within editors. Using @types/ws helps prevent runtime errors related to incorrect data types when working with WebSockets in TypeScript projects by providing accurate type information for the 'ws' API. This ensures smoother integration and improved developer experience when building real-time applications with WebSockets and TypeScript.
