REST Architecture is better suitable

 MQTT
• Publish/Subscribe Client/Server Protocol
• Lightweight, simple, easy to implement
• Small code and network bandwith footprint

 MQTT Topics
• Messages on MQTT are published on topics
• Topics don’t need to be configured, they have
to be published
• Topics are organized in hierarchical structure
• Example:

Radiator/Config/Temperature
MQTT Protocol Stack
 REST in IOT
Constrained Application Protocol
 CoAP
• REST model
• Very similar to HTTP, thus easily usable by Web
API Developers
• Integrates easily with XML, JSON and CBOR
• Designed to work on very small microcontrollers
with as low as 10KiB of RAM and 100KiB of code
space
• Uses minimal resources and protocol stack (UDP)
 CoAP
• Integrated discovery protocol by using CoAP
resource directory
• Strong security features by using DTLS
protocol
