MQTT.js is a client library for the MQTT publish/subscribe messaging protocol, written in TypeScript for Node.js and the browser. It supports MQTT 5, QoS levels, TLS, reconnection, and includes command-line tools for publishing and subscribing.

Use cases

  • connect to an mqtt broker from node.js
  • publish and subscribe to mqtt topics in the browser
  • build iot device messaging in javascript
  • send sensor data over mqtt from a react native app
  • test mqtt brokers from the command line
  • implement pub/sub communication between services

When to choose

  • you need an MQTT client in JavaScript or TypeScript
  • you want browser or Node.js support for MQTT pub/sub
  • you need MQTT 5 protocol features with QoS and TLS

When to avoid

  • you need an MQTT broker/server rather than a client
  • you are working outside the JavaScript ecosystem
