Directory structure

Device SDK subfolders:

/core

Device SDK Client package. This is used in conjunction with a protocol implementation package coming from one of the transport folder.

/transport

Protocol-specific SDK packages for: AMQP, AMQP over WebSockets, MQTT, MQTT over WebSockets and HTTP.

/samples

Sample applications exercising basic features.

/node-red
