Information exchange between the client and server parts of an application usually occurs through HTTP requests and responses. The client (for example, a browser) sends a request to the server, the server processes it, and returns a response.

The JSON format is most commonly used for data transfer because it is easy to parse and read.

Example of exchange:

  1. The client sends a GET request to retrieve a list of users.
  2. The server processes the request, retrieves data from the database, and returns a JSON with the users.

In Go, this might look like:

http.HandleFunc("/users", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    users := []string{"Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"}
    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(users)
})

WebSocket can also be used for bidirectional real-time communication.
