Astarte device SDKs

Introduction

Astarte Device SDKs are ready to use libraries that provide communication and pairing primitives. They allow to connect any device to an Astarte instance. While an SDK is not strictly required to connect an application to Astarte using MQTT, it enables rapid development and a pleasant developer experience.

Astarte Device SDKs should not be confused with client SDKs, as they are not meant for client to device communications. If one is interested in an abstraction layer on top of existing APIs instead, an optional Astarte Client SDK (such as astarte-go ) is to be used.

Under the hood Astarte Device SDKs make use of MQTT, BSON, HTTP, persistence and crypto libraries to implement Astarte MQTT v1 Protocol and all the other useful features.

They can be easily integrated into new or existing IoT projects written in any of the supported languages or platforms.

At the moment the following SDKs are available:

• C

  • ESP 32: check it out on github or read the API docs.

• C++

  • Qt5: check it out on github.

• Elixir: check it out on github.

• Go: check it out on github.

• Java (Android or generic): check it out on github or read the API docs.

• Python: check it out on github or read the API docs.

• Rust: check it out on github or read the API docs.

Further languages and platforms will be supported in the near future. Requests for new SDKs are welcome.
