Feature Request: Add Documentation for WebSocket Connection Handling #599

Description

@TurquoiseLeech

Summary

I'm currently working with the LiveKit Python SDK and I've noticed that the documentation regarding WebSocket connection handling is quite sparse. Since real-time applications heavily rely on WebSocket connections, I believe having detailed documentation on this topic would be extremely beneficial for developers.

What should be included:

  1. Establishing a WebSocket Connection

    • Code snippets demonstrating how to initiate a WebSocket connection using the LiveKit SDK.
  2. Handling Connection Events

    • Explanation of various events such as on_open, on_close, and on_error, along with example implementations on how to handle them effectively.
  3. Reconnecting Strategies

    • Suggestions on how to implement reconnection strategies in case of dropped connections.
  4. Best Practices

    • Recommendations for maintaining performance and reliability when using WebSocket connections.

Why this is important

Having a richer understanding of WebSocket connection management will enable developers to create more robust and efficient real-time applications using the LiveKit Python SDK. This enhancement will ultimately improve user experience and application performance.

Additional Information

If you could provide guidance on when this might be added to the documentation, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your hard work on this project!
