WebSockets vs. Server-Sent events/EventSource  
---------------------------------------------

Both WebSockets and Server-Sent Events are capable of pushing data to browsers. To me they seem to be competing technologies.
What is the difference between them? When would you choose one over the other?

Websockets and SSE (Server Sent Events) are both capable of pushing data to browsers, however they are not competing technologies.

Websockets connections can both send data to the browser and receive data from the browser. 
A good example of an application that could use websockets is a chat application.
