MQTT Go Client library

Eclipse Paho MQTT Go ClientMQTT Go Client Library - 图1 (opens new window) is the Go language client library under the Eclipse Paho project, which can connect to the MQTT Broker to publish messages, subscribe to topics and receive the published message. It supports asynchronous operation mode completely.

The client depends on Google’s software Package of proxyMQTT Go Client Library - 图2 (opens new window) and websocketsMQTT Go Client Library - 图3 (opens new window), which can be installed with the following command:

  1. go get github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.golang

MQTT Go usage example

This example contains the complete code for Paho MQTT in Go language connecting to EMQ X Broker, sending and receiving messages:

  1. package main
  3. import (
  4.     "fmt"
  5.     "log"
  6.     "os"
  7.     "time"
  9.     "github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.golang"
  10. )
  12. var f mqtt.MessageHandler = func(client mqtt.Client, msg mqtt.Message) {
  13.     fmt.Printf("TOPIC: %s\n", msg.Topic())
  14.     fmt.Printf("MSG: %s\n", msg.Payload())
  15. }
  17. func main() {
  18.     mqtt.DEBUG = log.New(os.Stdout, "", 0)
  19.     mqtt.ERROR = log.New(os.Stdout, "", 0)
  20.     opts := mqtt.NewClientOptions().AddBroker("tcp://broker.emqx.io:1883").SetClientID("emqx_test_client")
  22.     opts.SetKeepAlive(60 * time.Second)
  23.     // Set the message callback handler
  24.     opts.SetDefaultPublishHandler(f)
  25.     opts.SetPingTimeout(1 * time.Second)
  27.     c := mqtt.NewClient(opts)
  28.     if token := c.Connect(); token.Wait() && token.Error() != nil {
  29.         panic(token.Error())
  30.     }
  32.     // Subscribe to a topic
  33.     if token := c.Subscribe("testtopic/#", 0, nil); token.Wait() && token.Error() != nil {
  34.         fmt.Println(token.Error())
  35.         os.Exit(1)
  36.     }
  38.     // Publish a message
  39.     token := c.Publish("testtopic/1", 0, false, "Hello World")
  40.     token.Wait()
  42.     time.Sleep(6 * time.Second)
  44.     // Unscribe
  45.     if token := c.Unsubscribe("testtopic/#"); token.Wait() && token.Error() != nil {
  46.         fmt.Println(token.Error())
  47.         os.Exit(1)
  48.     }
  50.   // Disconnect
  51.     c.Disconnect(250)
  52.     time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
  53. }

Paho Golang MQTT 5.0 support

Currently, Paho Golang is still adapting to MQTT 5.0 and has not yet fully supported it.
