## Intro
This documentation page provides the basics on how to access the MQTT endpoint of FarmMaps, using Python code for examples.
Even when using a different programming language, the same workflow can be followed (as long as there's a MQTT client and a Protobuf library for the language you are using). FarmMaps provides an MQTT endpoint to allow your application to send signals to FarmMaps, and listen for events. These signals are collected in a "message queue".

If you are not familiar with MQTT or message queues in general, please see the short explanation below.

> Protocol buffers are Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data – think XML, but smaller, faster, and simpler.
> You define how you want your data to be structured once, then you can use special generated source code to easily write and read your structured data to and from a variety of data streams and using a variety of languages.
