Mosquitto: server and client implementation of the MQTT protocol

Open access
Light, Roger A·2017·The Journal of Open Source Software

Abstract

Mosquitto provides standards compliant server and client implementations of the MQTT messaging protocol.MQTT uses a publish/subscribe model, has low network overhead and can be implemented on low power devices such microcontrollers that might be used in remote Internet of Things sensors.As such, Mosquitto is intended for use in all situations where there is a need for lightweight messaging, particularly on constrained devices with limited resources.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
