Showdown vs SockJS: What are the differences?

Developers describe Showdown as "JavaScript port of Markdown". Showdown lets you add in-browser preview to existing Markdown apps. Any app that accepts HTML input can now be made to speak Markdown by modifying the input pages's HTML. On the other hand, SockJS is detailed as "A WebSocket emulation". It gives you a coherent, cross-browser, Javascript API which creates a low latency, full duplex, cross-domain communication channel between the browser and the web server, with WebSockets or without.

Showdown and SockJS belong to "Javascript Utilities & Libraries" category of the tech stack.

Showdown and SockJS are both open source tools. It seems that Showdown with 9.36K GitHub stars and 1.29K forks on GitHub has more adoption than SockJS with 1.73K GitHub stars and 278 GitHub forks.
