+\section1 WebSockets
+
+An alternative to direct TCP or HTTP communication is to use the WebSocket
+protocol (\l{http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455}{RFC 6455}). It is a
+two-way communication protocol on top of the TCP protocol to utilize existing
+web infrastructure without having to create additional client-server based
+communication. The \l{Qt WebSockets} module provides both a QML and C++ API,
+in addition to several examples to demonstrate its use.
