MQTT And TCP Socket JavaScript Interface For Hybrid Mobile Applications

Abstract

Today's needs require portable platforms such as mobile and IoT devices to be used more widely. The mobile platform development industry has grown rapidly as a result of the requirements of today's needs. There are various operating systems available on market such as iOS and Android. Naturally, software companies need to run their applications on multiple operating systems. Therefore, the software companies need to develop a new software with the native programming language of each operating system. Some frameworks like Cordova make possible to develop hybrid applications which based on web technologies and they are able to run on multiple operating systems. In some cases, developers may need to access device resources. In these cases, the developers should develop custom plugin for the hybrid framework. In this study, a plugin for Cordova framework has been developed that allows you to interact between web technologies and MQTT and TCP protocols through the JavaScript API.
