It uses plain HTTP, making it simpler to implement than WebSockets, especially when firewalls block non-HTTP protocols. SSE automatically handles reconnection logic and ensures message ordering, making it ideal for live feeds, notifications, and dashboards where the client does not need to send frequent data back to the server.</p>
