In the evolving world of the Internet of Things (IoT), efficient communication between devices is essential. Two protocols often mentioned in this context are XMPP and MQTT. While both are designed for message exchange, they serve different purposes and are optimized for different use cases. In this blog, we’ll explore the key differences between XMPP and MQTT, with a special focus on the XMPP Protocol in IoT. What is XMPP? XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) is an open-standard communication protocol originally designed for instant messaging. It operates over TCP and is based on XML (Extensible Markup Language). Due to its extensibility, XMPP has found use beyond chat applications—extending into VoIP, video calls, and even IoT. XMPP in IoT The XMPP Protocol in IoT is used where human-to-device and device-to-device communication needs to be reliable, extensible, and presence-aware. Its XML-based nature allows for detailed message struc...
