To implement MQTT

We need MQTT Broker, and MQTT client Library

MQTT Libraries & MQTT Broker

To use MQTT in the application we have variety of Libraries available for different programming languages.

MQTT Library

LIBRARY	LANGUAGE	DESCRIPTION
Eclipse Paho	C, C++, Java, Javascript, Python, Go, C#	Paho clients are among the most popular client library implementations.
Fusesource MQTT Client	Java	The Fusesource MQTT client is a Java MQTT client with 3 different API styles: Blocking, Future-based, and Callback-based.
MQTT.js	Javascript	MQTT.js is an MQTT client library for Node.js and web applications, available as a npm module.
ruby-mqtt	Ruby	ruby-mqtt is an MQTT client available as a Ruby gem. It does not support QoS > 0.

MQTT Broker

The broker is primarily responsible for receiving all messages (broker is like messaging server), filtering them, decide who is interested in it and then sending the message to all subscribed clients . MQTT Broker implementations: The table below shows some of the most popular open source and commercial broker implementations.

Broker ______	Description
Apache ActiveMQ	ActiveMQ is an open-source multi-protocol message broker with a core written around JMS. It supports MQTT and maps MQTT semantics over JMS.

Rabbit MQ	RabbitMQ is a scalable, open-source message queue implementation, written in Erlang. It is an AMQP message broker but has an MQTT plugin available. Does not support all MQTT features (e.g. QoS 2).
HiveMQ	HiveMQ is a scalable, high-performance MQTT broker suitable for mission critical deployments. It fully supports MQTT 3.1 and MQTT 3.1.1 and has features like websockets, clustering, and an open-source plugin system for Java developers.
WebsphereMQ /IBM MQ	Websphere MQ is a commercial message- oriented middleware by IBM. Fully supports MQTT.
