Frequently asked questions
An MQTT client is a library or application that implements the MQTT protocol. It allows your device or application to connect to an MQTT broker (like EMQX), and then publish messages to topics or subscribe to topics to receive messages.
Choose a library that fits your language, deployment environment, and required MQTT features. Check its documentation, maintenance activity, and examples before using it in production.
MQTT v5 is a major upgrade, introducing critical features like reason codes for better error reporting, user properties for metadata, shared subscriptions for load balancing, and session expiry for more flexible client sessions.
Always use TLS/SSL (MQTTS) to encrypt traffic. Additionally, all clients should authenticate with the broker using mechanisms like username/password, client certificates, or JWT authentication, all supported by EMQX.
QoS defines the guarantee of message delivery. QoS 0 means "at most once" (fire and forget), QoS 1 means "at least once" (guaranteed delivery, but duplicates may occur), and QoS 2 means "exactly once" (guaranteed delivery with no duplicates).
