MessageEvent class

The interface represents a message received by a target object. This is used to represent messages in:

Server-sent events (see EventSource.onmessage). Web sockets (see the onmessage property of the WebSocket interface). Cross-document messaging (see Window.postMessage() and Window.onmessage). Channel messaging (see MessagePort.postMessage() and MessagePort.onmessage). Cross-worker/document messaging (see the above two entries, but also Worker.postMessage(), Worker.onmessage, ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.onmessage, etc.) Broadcast channels (see Broadcastchannel.postMessage()) and BroadcastChannel.onmessage). WebRTC data channels (see RTCDataChannel.onmessage).

The action triggered by this event is defined in a function set as the event handler for the relevant message event (e.g. using an onmessage handler as listed above). Note: This feature is available in Web Workers
