AWS IoT Device Shadow library
Client library for using AWS IoT Shadow service on embedded devices
The AWS IoT Device Shadow library enables you to store and retrieve the current state (the “shadow”) of every registered device. The device’s shadow is a persistent, virtual representation of your device that you can interact with from AWS IoT Core even if the device is offline. The device state is captured as its “shadow” within a JSON document. The device can send commands over MQTT to get, update and delete its latest state as well as receive notifications over MQTT about changes in its state. Each device’s shadow is uniquely identified by the name of the corresponding “thing”, a representation of a specific device or logical entity on the AWS Cloud. See Managing Devices with AWS IoT for more information on IoT "thing". More details about AWS IoT Device Shadow can be found in AWS IoT documentation. This library is distributed under the MIT Open Source License. -

Async.MQTT5
A C++17 MQTT client based on Boost.Asio
Async.MQTT5 is a professional, industrial-grade C++17 client built on Boost.Asio. This Client is designed for publishing or receiving messages from an MQTT 5.0 compatible Broker. Async.MQTT5 represents a comprehensive implementation of the MQTT 5.0 protocol standard, offering full support for publishing or receiving messages with QoS 0, 1, and 2. The MQTT protocol is widely utilised for communication in various real-world scenarios, primarily serving as a reliable communication protocol for data transfer to and from IoT devices. While the MQTT protocol itself is relatively straightforward, integrating it into an application can be complex, especially due to the challenging implementation of message retransmission after a disconnect/reconnect sequence. The aim of Async.MQTT5 is to provide a very simple asynchronous C++ interface for application developers. The internal Client's implementation manages network and MQTT protocol details. -

AWS IoT Device SDK for Java
Java SDK for connecting to AWS IoT from a device
The AWS IoT Device SDK for Java enables Java developers to access the AWS IoT Platform through MQTT or MQTT over the WebSocket protocol. The SDK is built with AWS IoT device shadow support, providing access to thing shadows (sometimes referred to as device shadows) using shadow methods, including GET, UPDATE, and DELETE. It also supports a simplified shadow access model, which allows developers to exchange data with their shadows by just using getter and setter methods without having to serialize or deserialize any JSON documents. A new AWS IoT Device SDK is now available. It is a complete rework, built to improve reliability, performance, and security. We invite your feedback! The SDK is built on top of the Paho MQTT Java client library. Developers can choose from two types of connections to connect to the AWS IoT service. -

AWS IoT SDK for JavaScript
SDK for connecting to AWS IoT from a device using JavaScript/Node.js
A new AWS IoT Device SDK is now available. It is a complete rework, built to improve reliability, performance, and security. We invite your feedback! The aws-iot-device-sdk.js package allows developers to write JavaScript applications that access the AWS IoT Platform via MQTT or MQTT over the Secure WebSocket Protocol. It can be used in Node.js environments as well as in-browser applications. This package is built on top of mqtt.js and provides three classes: 'device', 'thingShadow' and 'jobs'. The 'device' class wraps mqtt.js to provide a secure connection to the AWS IoT platform and expose the mqtt.js interfaces upward. It provides features to simplify the handling of intermittent connections, including progressive backoff retries, automatic re-subscription upon connection and queued offline publishing with a configurable drain rate. Beginning with Release v2.2.0 of the SDK, AWS collects usage metrics indicating which language and version of the SDK is being used. -

AWS IoT Device SDK for Embedded C
SDK for connecting to AWS IoT from a device using embedded C
The AWS IoT Device SDK for Embedded C (C-SDK) is a collection of C source files under the MIT open source license that can be used in embedded applications to securely connect IoT devices to AWS IoT Core. It contains MQTT client, HTTP client, JSON Parser, AWS IoT Device Shadow, AWS IoT Jobs, and AWS IoT Device Defender libraries. This SDK is distributed in source form and can be built into customer firmware along with application code, other libraries, and an operating system (OS) of your choice. These libraries are only dependent on standard C libraries, so they can be ported to various OS's - from embedded Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) to Linux/Mac/Windows. You can find sample usage of C-SDK libraries on POSIX systems using OpenSSL (e.g. Linux demos in this repository), and on FreeRTOS using mbedTLS (e.g. FreeRTOS demos in the FreeRTOS repository). The coreHTTP library provides the ability to establish an HTTP connection with a server over a customer-implemented transport layer. -
