CoAP

CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) is a lightweight communication protocol designed for simple devices, like sensors or home automation gadgets, that connect to the internet. It enables these devices to send and receive data efficiently over networks with limited resources, such as low bandwidth or power. CoAP is similar to HTTP used on websites but optimized for small, low-power devices, making it ideal for the Internet of Things (IoT). It ensures reliable and secure data transfer, allowing devices to work together seamlessly in smart environments without overloading their limited capabilities.
