What to use to connect two players?

Question

Node.js

I am writing an online game, I think what to use to connect two players on the Node.JS server (The model is the simplest - data comes from one player, you need to forward it to another).
The first and, so far, the only thought was the use of sockets. For example, socket.io (Which has a mechanism for separating connections into different namespaces and separate rooms). Did I make the right choice, or is there something more convenient?

You have to look at the game. In a turn-based strategy, you can get by with something that does not keep a constant connection. But in general - yes, sockets are what you need.
