What is the use of Streaming API ?

hi aman,

Streaming API is useful when you want notifications to be pushed from the server to the client based on criteria that you define. Consider the following applications for Streaming API:

Applications that poll frequently
Applications that have constant polling action against the Salesforce infrastructure, consuming unnecessary API calls and processing time, would benefit from Streaming API which reduces the number of requests that return no data.
General notification
Use Streaming API for applications that require general notification of data changes in an organization. This enables you to reduce the number of API calls and improve performance.
