Connection Handler

Definitions

1. A component or function responsible for establishing, managing, and reacting to the lifecycle of a connection. Connection handlers commonly process events such as open, close, retry, handshake completion, or errors in networked applications.

   In plain English: The code that manages how a connection is opened, used, and closed.

   Example: "The websocket connection handler buffered outbound messages until the handshake completed, then flushed them in order to avoid losing early events."
