| 2015-02-04 | Toby Jaffey <toby@1248.io>, [Zeroday](https://github.com/funshine) | [Zeroday](https://github.com/funshine) | [coap.c](../../app/modules/coap.c) |
|
|
|
|
The CoAP module provides a simple implementation according to [CoAP](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7252) protocol.
|
|
The basic endpoint server part is based on [microcoap](https://github.com/1248/microcoap), and many other code reference [libcoap](https://github.com/obgm/libcoap).
|
|
|
|
This module implements both the client and the server side. GET/PUT/POST/DELETE is partially supported by the client. Server can register Lua functions and variables. No observe or discover supported yet.
|
|
|
|
!!! caution
|
|
|
|
This module is only in the very early stages and not complete yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
