The Messaging of Things
summary
Compares payload sizes and protocols with concrete numbers: plain JSON drops to 35 bytes JSON after trimming but HTTP headers inflate a POST to ~112 bytes; Avro starts ~281 bytes but batches to ~13 bytes per reading and to ~9 bytes when using a start-timestamp + offsets; Protocol Buffers serializes a single record to ~9 bytes (batched patterns can rise to ~14 bytes); HTTP/2 with HTTP/2 HPACK shrinks header overhead (example 134→58 bytes on the wire); MQTT uses a MQTT 2-byte header, supports QoS and works on MicroPython.
