MQTT Packet Encoder and Decoder
===============================
Encoder and decoder for MQTT v5 and earlier.
Maps are used for the representation of all MQTT messages.
There are two functions:
1. `mqtt_packet_map:encode/1`
2. `mqtt_packet_map:decode/1`
Both have a variant where the MQTT version (protocol level) is passed.
This defaults to 5, valid values are 3, 4 (v3.1.1) and 5.
Example usage:
```erlang
% Decode an incoming binary, return the message
case mqtt_packet_map:decode(Bin) of
{ok, {Msg, RestBin}} ->
% Decoded a packet, RestBin contains the
% remaining data for the next packet(s).
...;
{error, incomplete_packet} -> ...;
% Packet is too short, fetch more data first
...;
{error, malformed_header} ->
% Illegal package, close the connection
...;
{error, unknown_protocol} ->
% Only for connect messages
...
end.
% Encode a message
{ok, Bin} = mqtt_packet_map:encode(Msg).
% Encode a message as MQTT v3.1.1 (protocol level 4)
{ok, Bin} = mqtt_packet_map:encode(4, Msg).
```
MQTT v5 Specification
=====================
This library follows the following specification:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/mqtt/mqtt/v5.0/cs01/mqtt-v5.0-cs01.html
Usage
=====
Include the mqtt_packet_map directly in your rebar.config:
```erlang
{deps, [
mqtt_packet_map
]}.
```
Tests
=====
Run tests with:
```bash
make test
```
Sample output:
```
./rebar3 ct --config rebar.test.config

Packet Types
============
Below is the list of packet types and their fields.
Fields that are omitted are set to their defaults.
For example, `reason_code`, `qos`, and `packet_id` will
all default to `0`.
Some fields, like the topic for publish, are obligatory.
The encoder will crash if you leave out oblibatory fields.
Topics
------
Topics are parsed as lists (i.e. they are split on the `/` separator).
When encoding, both a binary and a list are accepted.
So the following are acceptable topics for the encoder:
* `<<"foo/bar">>`
* `[ <<"foo">> | <<"bar">> ]`
Which are both decoded as:
* `[ <<"foo">> | <<"bar">> ]`
Properties
----------
The (optional) properties of a package are represented as a map.
Known properties have an atom as key, user properties a binary.
Below is an example map with all properties and one user (`<<"myuserprop">>`) property. The values are random and
have no bearing in reality.
```Erlang
#{
payload_format_indicator => true,
message_expiry_interval => 1,
content_type => <<"text/plain">>,
response_topic => [ <<"response">>, <<"topic">> ],

authentication_method => <<"authmethod">>,
authentication_data => <<"authdata">>,
request_problem_information => true,
will_delay_interval => 5,
