Push GeoJSON to an External WebSocket

The Push GeoJSON to an External WebSocket Output Connector can be used to push event data, adapted and formatted as GeoJSON, to an external server’s WebSocket. This output connector runs as a client and must be able to establish connection with an external server’s WebSocket gateway to push GeoJSON data to. For more information on examples of GeoJSON data record formatting, see the GeoJSON specification.

Usage notes

• This output connector adapts event data as GeoJSON as opposed to feature JSON or generic JSON.
• This output connector pairs the GeoJSON Outbound Adapter with the WebSocket Outbound Transport.
• This output connector runs as a client and establishes connection to an external server’s WebSocket.
• The WebSocket (ws) and WebSocket Secure (wss) protocols are supported by this connector.
