lightweight messaging protocol

Lightweight messaging protocols are communication methods used in technology to exchange information efficiently, especially in environments with limited resources, like small devices or unreliable networks. These protocols prioritize speed and simplicity, allowing devices to communicate using minimal data and energy. An example is MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), commonly used in the Internet of Things (IoT) for connecting smart devices. By reducing the amount of overhead in data transmission, lightweight messaging protocols ensure that devices can stay connected and share messages even in challenging conditions.
