Using Different Protocols for Building Applications with Node-RED

In IoT development, effective communication between devices is essential. This communication is facilitated by various protocols like MQTT, HTTP, CoAP, and WebSockets. Each protocol brings its own set of strengths and is suited for different IoT scenarios. However, understanding which protocol is suited for what scenario and utilizing it can be quite difficult. That's why we have created this section of resources where you will find documentation on using different communication protocols with Node-RED.

Node-RED, with its intuitive visual programming interface, simplifies the integration of these protocols. Whether you're publishing sensor data over MQTT, triggering HTTP requests, querying CoAP endpoints, or enabling real-time communication with WebSockets, Node-RED provides a flexible and powerful platform.
