Weekly EP39 - How to Publish and Receive Protobuf Messages within MQTT?
Examples with EMQX and MQTTX
MQTT and Protobuf
Choosing the correct data serialization format becomes crucial in the increasingly complex data exchange environment. Protobuf has been widely adopted by major internet companies and various microservice projects due to its efficient serialization properties. At the same time, MQTT, a lightweight message transfer protocol based on the publish-subscribe model, evidently enhances the IoT data exchange experience when combined with Protobuf.
Ensuring and testing the correct publishing and receiving of Protobuf messages within MQTT is crucial. MQTTX, an open-source, all-in-one MQTT client, supports multiple formats, from JSON and Base64 to the present-day Protobuf. This article will demonstrate how to define, publish, and receive Protobuf messages with MQTTX.
