MQTT and CoAP, IoT Protocols | The Eclipse Foundation

MQTT and CoAP, IoT Protocols The IoT needs standard protocols. Two of the most promising for small devices are MQTT and CoAP. Both MQTT and CoAP: Are open standards Are better suited to constrained environments than HTTP Provide mechanisms for asynchronous communication Run on IP Have a range of implementations MQTT gives flexibility in communication patterns and acts purely as a pipe for binary d
