@aws-amplify/pubsub
Advanced tools
This package contains the AWS Amplify PubSub category. For more information on using PubSub in your application please reference the Amplify Dev Center.
The 'mqtt' package is a client library for the MQTT protocol, which is a lightweight messaging protocol for small sensors and mobile devices. It provides similar publish/subscribe functionality but requires more manual setup compared to @aws-amplify/pubsub.
The 'socket.io' package is a library for real-time web applications. It enables real-time, bidirectional communication between web clients and servers. While it offers similar real-time messaging capabilities, it is more focused on web sockets and less on integration with AWS services.
The 'paho-mqtt' package is an MQTT client library for JavaScript. It provides similar publish/subscribe functionality and is part of the Eclipse Paho project. Like 'mqtt', it requires more manual setup and does not integrate as seamlessly with AWS services as @aws-amplify/pubsub.
