MQTT Paho Getting Started

MQTT is a light-weight publish/subscribe messaging protocol, originally created by IBM and Arcom (later to become part of Eurotech) around 1998. TheMQTT 3.1.1 specification has now been standardised by the OASIS consortium. The standard is available in a variety of formats.

More information about the protocol can be found on the MQTT.org community site.

There is a publically accessible sandbox server for the Eclipse IoT projects available atiot.eclipse.org, port1883.

Getting Started

The Paho project consists of a number of clients and utilities for working with MQTT, each of which comes with its own getting started guide.
