SpringBoot WebSockets

@EnableWebSocketMessageBroker:

This is used for implementing a STOMP-based messaging system. Suitable for applications needing a publish/subscribe model or complex routing with destinations. Relies on Spring’s simp messaging (simple messaging protocol) abstraction. Example use case: A chat application with topic-based subscriptions.

@EnableWebSocket:

This is for creating raw WebSocket handlers. Allows handling low-level WebSocket frames (e.g., TextMessage, BinaryMessage) directly. Example use case: Custom WebSocket-based protocols or real-time data streams like stock prices.
