Unveiling the Power of HTTP/2
HTTP/2 emerges as a game-changer. This binary protocol not only transforms the way data is transferred but also streamlines the entire process.
1. Binary Protocol Efficiency:
HTTP/2, in contrast to its predecessor HTTP/1.1, operates as a binary protocol. This fundamental shift enhances parsing and processing efficiency, reducing redundancy and optimizing data transfer.
2. Multiplexing Marvel:
Bid farewell to multiple connections to the same server. HTTP/2 introduces multiplexing, consolidating multiple requests and streams into a single connection. This not only simplifies the architecture but also slashes overhead related to TCP connections .
as we can see in the following image that each file/data is sent via different tcp connection in case of http/1.1 ,where as http/2 sets a single connection and send other files as streaming on the same tcp connection .
3. Streaming Simplicity:
HTTP/2 enables seamless streaming, allowing the server to push data to the client without additional overhead. Bidirectional streaming support enhances real-time interactions, ushering in a new era of dynamic web applications.

4. Comparison:
fun work === {http://www.http2demo.io/} image in this link shows the comparison of http/1 and http2 here the images has multiple tiles hence http/1 is making multiple request and http/2 is just making single connection also if we refresh the images the second time via http/1 the images again makes multiple request to fetch the multiple tiles of the large image. Now via http/2 it will load much faster this is because http/2 has the cache header, while http/1 does not .
Embrace the future of web communication with HTTP/2 — where efficiency, speed, and innovation converge!
