Connect with MQTT.fx
This article will take MQTT.fx as MQTT client test tool to connect the deployment of EMQX Platform.
MQTT.fx is the most popular MQTT desktop client tool currently. The major version of MQTT.fx 1.0 is developed by Jens Deters using JavaFX technology, which is a Java virtual machine application. Unfortunately, the maintenance of MQTT.fx has now stopped maintenance and Softblade company has sponsored the development and released its commercial version MQTT.fx® 5.0, which is operated with a fee-based license. MQTT.fx in this article refers to version 1.0 without special instructions.
TCP and TLS protocols are supported but WebSocket.
