  • What MQTT crates for use in WASM are out there?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 5 Oct 2023
    I saw options like https://github.com/00imvj00/mqttrs and https://github.com/zonyitoo/mqtt-rs - they are compiling for wasm, but for my understanding they are just packet decoders/encoders - so all state machines etc I should write myself. Maybe there are creates that are network agnostic, meaning I will feed it bytes, it will feed me bytes back and all I need to do is to send them?
  • OTA update using MQTT

    I'm dabbling with the mqttrs crate for the client (https://github.com/zonyitoo/mqtt-rs) this provides rust native components to build a client or server but it's up to you to create the tcp connection and deal with tls if you want it.
