This is a Django project that demonstrates short polling and long polling implementations.

Short Polling

Advantages

• Simple to implement and understand.
• Real-time updates for clients as soon as new data is available.
• Easy to implement

Disadvantages

• Frequent polling can lead to increased server load and higher bandwidth usage.
• Latency in data updates as clients have to wait for the next poll interval.
• Increased traffic and load on the server even when there is no new data.
• Not suitable for applications requiring real-time or low-latency updates.

Long Polling

Advantages

• Real-time updates without the need for frequent polling.
• Reduced server load compared to short polling for scenarios with low update frequency.

Disadvantages

• More complex to implement than short polling.
• Still introduces some latency as clients wait for responses from the server.
• Increased server resource usage as each client connection is held open until data is available.
• Not suitable for scenarios with very high update frequency or a large number of clients.
