## What it is
A native Objective-C MQTT client framework for iOS, macOS, and tvOS built on CFNetwork with CoreData persistence. It fully implements MQTT 3.1.1 with TLS support and has been tested against a wide range of brokers.

## Use cases
- connect an iOS app to an MQTT broker
- subscribe to MQTT topics and receive messages on iPhone
- publish messages over MQTT from a native macOS app
- add pub/sub messaging to a tvOS app
- build an IoT device companion app with MQTT in Objective-C
- secure MQTT connections with TLS on Apple platforms

## When to choose
- you need a native Objective-C MQTT client for iOS, macOS, or tvOS
- you require full MQTT 3.1.1 support including QoS levels and TLS
- you want a battle-tested client compatible with many brokers like mosquitto, hivemq, and AWS IoT

## When to avoid
- you are building in Swift and prefer a Swift-native MQTT library
- you need MQTT 5.0 support
- you need active development and frequent updates, as the project appears to be in maintenance mode
