Message Queuing Telemetry Transport

Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is a lightweight communication protocol designed for devices to send and receive data efficiently over networks. It's commonly used in IoT (Internet of Things) applications, allowing sensors, appliances, and other devices to share information reliably with minimal bandwidth. Devices publish messages to specific topics, and interested receivers subscribe to these topics to get updates, ensuring a flexible and scalable communication system. MQTT's simplicity, low power consumption, and real-time capabilities make it ideal for connecting devices in environments like smart homes, industrial automation, and remote monitoring.
