+== Websocket (WS) IO
+
+APEX supports the Websockets as input as well as output.
+WS IO is supported by the APEX Websocket plugin.
+This carrier technology does only support uni-directional communication.
+APEX will not send events to a Websocket input and any event sent to a Websocket output will result in an error log.
+
+The input can be configured as client (APEX connects to an existing Websocket server) or server (APEX starts a Websocket server).
+The same applies to the output.
+Input and output can both use a client or a server configuration, or separate configurations (input as client and output as server, input as server and output as client).
+Each configuration should use its own dedicated port to avoid any communication loops.
+The configuration of a Websocket client is the same for input and output.
+The configuration of a Websocket server is the same for input and output.
+
+
+=== Websocket Client
+
+APEX will connect to a given Websocket server.
+As input, it will receive events from the server but not send any events.
+As output, it will send events to the server and any event received from the server will result in an error log.

+=== Websocket Server
+
+APEX will start a Websocket server, which will accept any Websocket clients to connect.
+As input, it will receive events from the server but not send any events.
+As output, it will send events to the server and any event received from the server will result in an error log.
