For practical purposes and application interaction, the following protocols are often used:

  • HTTP/HTTPS — the main protocol for data transfer in web applications.
  • FTP — for transferring files between client and server.
  • SMTP, POP3, IMAP — for sending and receiving emails.
  • WebSocket — for two-way real-time communication between client and server.
  • MQTT — a lightweight protocol for message exchange in IoT and mobile applications.
  • SOAP and REST — architectural styles and protocols for web services.

These protocols ensure standardized data exchange between applications on different devices and platforms.
