MQTT Editor

About This Tool

The MQTT Editor is a domain-focused tool for designing MQTT messages used in IoT systems. It targets developers, testers, and integrators who need to prototype topics, payload schemas, and QoS settings without a live broker. Conceptually, users provide broker details, a topic, a payload, and QoS; the editor validates input, simulates publish events, and returns a ready-to-send message scaffold. It supports multiple templates to compare payload variants and run regression-simulation tests. Core value lies in early validation of message structure, encoding, and topic correctness, reducing integration risk.
In operation, inputs are parsed, JSON payloads are validated when present, and topic syntax is checked to ensure published topics do not include wildcards. The tool can operate offline, producing a payload blob, size metrics, and an estimated network footprint for each test run. Optional features include TLS/authentication fields, will messages, and retention settings to mirror production configurations, enabling more accurate tests without broker access.
Use cases include rapid prototyping of sensor data schemas, QA prechecks for MQTT-based deployments, and educational demonstrations of MQTT publish semantics. The editor differentiates itself through strict publish-topic validation, payload encoding checks, and template-based testing workflows that support multiple scenarios in a single session.
