    * `text/event-stream` relies on a modified version of [Azure's fetch-event-source](https://github.com/Azure/fetch-event-source). They handle errors and chunking better than I was. New version has been tested out to 4 billion fragments rendered on a single page with no errors.

    The EventSource Web API for handling SSEs (built into most modern browsers) unfortunately supports only GET requests, which was quite limiting when a POST request with larger body JSON data was required. As an alternative, you can use the Fetch API or a ready library like Microsoft’s Fetch Event Source.
  • GraphQL over SSE (Server-Sent Events)

    Aforementioned limitations are taken care with a specialised SSE client (inspired by the awesome @microsoft/fetch-event-source) and two separate connection modes: the HTTP/1 safe "single connection mode" that uses a single SSE connection for receiving events with separate HTTP requests dictating the behaviour, and the HTTP/2+ "distinct connections mode" that uses distinct SSE connections for each GraphQL operation, accommodating the parameters in the request itself.
