WebSocket event receiver is an internal event receiver that comes with WSO2 products by default. You can configure it with XML, JSON, and text input mapping types. 

Info

The websocket event receiver should be used when the event source is a websocket server to which the CEP server need to connect in order to receive events. However, if the event source is a websocket client, the event source should connect to the inbuilt web socket server of WSO2 CEP. In such scenarios, use the WebSocket Local Event Receiver.
