With that you can connect the WebSocket and then send and receive messages:

## Handling disconnections and multiple clients

When a WebSocket connection is closed, the `await websocket.receive_text()` will raise a `WebSocketDisconnect` exception, which you can then catch and handle like in this example.

=== "Python 3.9+"

    ```Python hl_lines="79-81"

            - receive_bytes
            - receive_json
            - iter_text
            - iter_bytes
            - iter_json
            - send_text
            - send_bytes
            - send_json
            - close

Wenn ein Client die Verbindung trennt, wird eine `WebSocketDisconnect`-Exception ausgelöst, die Sie abfangen können.

Sie können diese direkt von `fastapi` importieren:
