Developers describe Mosca as "A Node.js MQTT broker". A Node.js MQTT broker, which can be used as a Standalone Service or embedded in another Node.js application. On the other hand, VerneMQ is detailed as "VerneMQ is a distributed IoT/MQTT message broker". VerneMQ is a distributed MQTT message broker, implemented in Erlang/OTP It's open source, and Apache 2 licensed. VerneMQ implements the MQTT 3.1, 3.1.1 and 5.0 specifications..
Mosca and VerneMQ can be primarily classified as "Message Queue" tools.
Some of the features offered by Mosca are:
- MQTT 3.1 and 3.1.1 compliant
