What is Eclipse Mosquitto?

Eclipse Mosquitto is an open-source message broker licensed under EPL/EDL that is crafted to accommodate multiple versions of the MQTT protocol, including 5.0, 3.1.1, and 3.1. This broker is remarkably lightweight, making it suitable for a diverse array of devices, ranging from low-power single-board computers to high-capacity server systems.

The MQTT protocol itself provides an effective mechanism for managing messaging via a publish/subscribe model, which is especially advantageous for Internet of Things applications, allowing for seamless communication with low-energy sensors or mobile devices such as smartphones and embedded systems.

Beyond the broker, the Mosquitto project also features a C library that aids in the development of MQTT clients, as well as popular command line tools, mosquitto_pub and mosquitto_sub, which significantly improve user engagement with the MQTT protocol. Furthermore, Mosquitto stands out as a flexible resource for developers seeking to establish messaging frameworks across a wide range of applications, ensuring comprehensive support for various communication needs.
