A developer is writing a parser for Mist WebSocket messages. They notice that different event types have different fields. What is the best practice for handling this variability?

Use a schema-aware parser that can handle different event types based on a 'type' field

Write a single parser that assumes all messages have the same fields

Ignore any message with unknown fields

Convert all messages to a generic key-value pair format

An application maintains a WebSocket connection to Mist for several days. The developer notices the connection occasionally drops silently. What should be added to the client to detect and recover from these silent drops?

A log message every time a message is received

A larger buffer to store more incoming messages

A longer timeout on the socket read operation

A heartbeat mechanism that sends periodic pings and expects pong responses

A company is building a custom analytics platform. They need to stream data from Mist to their platform, but they also need to ensure the data is encrypted in transit and that the connection is authenticated. They are evaluating WebSocket vs. REST API. What is the primary advantage of WebSocket for this use case?

It provides a persistent, low-latency, bidirectional channel for continuous data streaming

It requires less bandwidth than REST for the same data

It automatically encrypts data without any configuration

It uses a simpler authentication mechanism than REST
