Embedded Server

Hello,

Has anyone tried embedding an MQTT broker in an application with server socket style API semantics - much like 0mq?

The particular scenario I am considering at the moment is controlling a media player (much like mpd) using the MQTT protocol and making it easier to setup by not requiring a separate broker. Client tools could then use the MQTT protocol without users having to know.

I recently built a server that does this. I used Matteo Collina's Aedes node.js tool:

It worked really well. In particular, I was mapping OAuth2 flows into MQTT and I needed to do my own security processing and make sure that responses only were delivered to the right clients, etc. Because I embedded it into my OAuth2 server it made all that a lot easier.
