In this article, we will show you how to use nSoftware IPWorks MQ 2020 v20.0.7243 for Delphi to communicate with an MQTT broker and publish and subscribe to topics.
What is MQTT?
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a publish/subscribe messaging protocol that works on top of TCP/IP. It is designed for low-bandwidth, high-latency, unreliable networks, such as the Internet of Things (IoT). MQTT allows devices to exchange messages with each other through a central broker, which routes the messages based on topics.
MQTT has three quality of service (QoS) levels: 0 (at most once), 1 (at least once), and 2 (exactly once). QoS determines how the broker and the clients handle message delivery and acknowledgment. MQTT also supports session persistence, which means that the broker can store the session state of a client and resume it when the client reconnects.
