A versatile messaging protocol for smooth communication

MQTT - Your flexible messaging protocol

MQTT is an OASIS standard messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). It is designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport that is ideal for connecting remote devices with a small code footprint and minimal network bandwidth. MQTT today is used in a wide variety of industries, such as automotive, manufacturing, telecommunications, oil and gas, etc.

How does MQTT work?

In MQTT, clients can either publish messages to a topic or subscribe to a topic to receive messages. 

The messages are routed to any clients that have subscribed to that topic by a broker, which acts as a central hub in the communication. This enables decoupled and scalable communication between clients.
