    Hello @manpreet.singh

    The WebSocket API is designed for easy to develop and support various programming languages via the standard WebSocket connection and JSON message format. However, the application needs to manually control the connection and session logic by itself.

    The Real-Time SDK uses Refinitiv's proprietary TCP-based connection called RSSL. The RSSL connection encodes data in binary format which is highly optimized for data distribution more than a JSON string format in a WebSocket connection. The EMA API (part of the SDK) is also handling the connection for the application. However, the SDK currently supports the Java and C++ programming languages.
