    The GraphQL over SSE in its simplest form IMHO does not require an additional client library. Setting up a subscription in the browser is as simple as doing the following:

    Actually WebSocket is not the only protocol for executing GraphQL subscriptions. There is also a graphql-over-sse protocol, which is much more lightweight, and uses Server Sent Events. A popular implementation of it is the graphql-sse library, which is maintained by the same person as graphql-ws. The setup and API of both libraries is pretty similar.

    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.

    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.
