The MQTTPacket directory contains the lowest level C library with the smallest requirements. This supplies simple serialization

and deserialization routines. It is mainly up to you to write and read to and from the network.

There are three sub-projects:

The MQTTClient directory contains the next level C++ library. This still avoids most networking code so that you can plugin the
11

network of your choice.

1. MQTTPacket - simple de/serialization of MQTT packets, plus helper functions
10
+
2. MQTTClient - high(er) level C++ client, plus
11
+
3. MQTTClient-C - high(er) level C client (pretty much a clone of the C++ client)
12
+
13

The *MQTTPacket* directory contains the lowest level C library with the smallest requirements. This supplies simple serialization
14
+
and deserialization routines. They serve as a base for the higher level libraries, but can also be used on their own
15

It is mainly up to you to write and read to and from the network.

17

The *MQTTClient* directory contains the next level C++ library. This networking code is contained in separate classes so that you can plugin the
18
+
network of your choice. Currently there are implementations for Linux, Arduino and mbed. ARM mbed was the first platform for which this was written,
19
+
where the conventional language choice is C++, which explains the language choice. I have written a starter [Porting Guide](http://modelbasedtesting.co.uk/2014/08/25/porting-a-paho-embedded-c-client/).

21
+
The *MQTTClient-C* directory contains a C equivalent of MQTTClient, for those platforms where C++ is not supported or the convention. As far
22
+
as possible it is a direct translation from *MQTTClient*.

## Build requirements / compilation
14

15
-
There are helper scripts (build...) in various directories. The client library is a set of building blocks which you pick and choose from, so that the smallest MQTT application can be built.
26
+
CMake builds for the various packages have been introduced, along with Travis-CI configuration for automated build & testing. The basic
27
+
method of building on Linux is:

## Usage and API
29
+
```
30
+
mkdir build.paho
31
+
cd build.paho
32
+
cmake ..
33
+
make
34
+
```

See the samples directory for examples of intended use.

The travis-build.sh file has the full build and test sequence for Linux.

## Runtime tracing
23

24
-
As yet, there is no tracing. For the smallest client, should we have tracing?
45
+
The *MQTTClient* API has debug tracing for MQTT packets sent and received - turn this on by setting the MQTT_DEBUG preprocessor definition.
Discussion of the Paho clients takes place on the [Eclipse paho-dev mailing list](https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/paho-dev).

Discussion of the Paho clients takes place on the [Eclipse Mattermost Paho channel](https://mattermost.eclipse.org/eclipse/channels/paho) and the [Eclipse paho-dev mailing list](https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/paho-dev).
