Overview of MQTT
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight messaging protocol designed for efficient communication between devices in a network. It was developed by IBM in the late 1990s and has since become an open standard maintained by the OASIS consortium. MQTT is designed to be simple and efficient, making it well-suited for resource-constrained devices and networks with limited bandwidth or intermittent connectivity. It follows a publish-subscribe messaging model, where devices communicate by publishing messages to topics and subscribing to topics to receive relevant messages. Here's a brief overview of how MQTT works: Broker: MQTT uses a central message broker, which acts as an intermediary between publishers and subscribers. The broker receives messages published by devices and routes them to subscribers based on their topic subscriptions. Topics: Messages in MQTT are organized into topics, which are hierarchical and represented by strings. Topics can have multiple levels,
