Technical Summary:
JMAP [RFC8620] defines a synchronization protocol that assumes that
it is used over a secure transport protocol. The current HTTP binding
for JMAP would require that each request be authenticated, which
introduces significant overhead. The WebSocket binding defined in
this document provides higher performance by allowing the connection
to be authenticated once with subsequent requests taking advantage of
the WebSocket state.
