-`client` is for physical connection while `socket` is for "namespace"(which is like a logical channel), which means one `socket` paired with one namespace, and one `client` paired with one physical connection.

-Since a physical connection can have multiple namespaces (which is called multiplex), a `client` object may have multiple `socket` objects, each is bind to a distinct `namespace`.

 Use `client` to setup the connection to the server, manange the connection status, also session id for the connection.
 
 Use `socket` to send messages under namespace and receives messages in the namespace, also handle special types of message.
 
-The `message` is just about the content you want to send, with text,binary or structured combinations.
