Abstract

MQTT is the de facto standard for machine-to-machine communication, like e-mail is for us.

MQTT is designed for the highly popular Internet of Things (IoT) movement. Similar to how the request-response paradigm of HTTP transforms the Internet into a human web, the publish-subscribe model of MQTT transforms IoT into a machine web.

Message Queueing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is the Internet standard protocol for publishing and subscribing to messages that are sent to topics on an MQTT broker (see MQTT.org for more information).

Internet of Things (IoT) uses Internet protocols to connect things to software. Things include devices, equipment, appliances, vehicles, and so forth.

Each thing must contain an embedded computer processor and must use an IoT protocol, such as MQTT, to communicate with software.

Since 2014, MQTT has become the standard Internet protocol for IoT. MQTT is necessary because devices need to push information when it is created, such as a status update, an alert, telemetry, or a command. MQTT is used in IoT because HTTP is a request/response protocol that cannot push information.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a standard request-response protocol that works on top of TCP/IP. It allows a client computer to send a request to a server computer, which in turn, replies to the request. The purpose of HTTP is to allow software to ask questions and receive answers.

Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the HTTP protocol running over TLS. It provides secure request-response communications between computers.

WebSocket Secure (WSS)is the secure version of WebSocket. It uses TLS to create secure communications.

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a simple format for representing data. It requires very little markup and is flexible enough to represent the majority of data structures. It is self-describing, which makes it ideal for schemaless applications and search. It can optionally be paired with a schema to define an expected structure.

A database is a set of data that is managed by a database server. A database contains data that is organized into tables, records, and fields. A database is a huge composite data type that represents a group of interconnected objects. A database allows records to be joined together for querying, searching, and processing by users, applications, and services.

A database is a security container that controls which accounts have permissions to access specific data.
