Differences between TCP sockets and web sockets, one more time [duplicate]

Trying to understand as best as I can the differences between TCP socket and websocket, I’ve already found a lot of useful information within these questions:

  • fundamental difference between websockets and pure TCP
  • How to establish a TCP Socket connection from a web browser (client side)?

and so on…

In my investigations, I went through this sentence on wikipedia:

Websocket differs from TCP in that it enables a stream of messages instead of a stream of bytes

I’m not totally sure about what it means exactly. What are your interpretations?
