Re: [mosquitto-dev] Is there a broker API?

[Yuval Tovi <yuvaltv7@xxxxxxxxx>]

The API should provide a way to:

- inspect and modify packets sent

- work with an existing event loop (similar to libmosquitto)

- be run inside of a process of the user's choice, which would allow for easier monitoring

The motivation for this is increased flexibility (by inspecting and hooking the "main plumbing" of the MQTT infrastructure) and easier integration with existing codebases as I mentioned

What do you think should be in a broker API, and why?
