As embedded networks are evolving to open systems, it’s be-
coming possible to create new applications on top of these
existing embedded systems. However, developing new appli-
cations can be difficult due to the large diversity of protocols
that exist today. In this paper, the authors demonstrate how
employing the CoAP protocol can enable rapid application
development by re-using well-known principles from the Web
development world. Furthermore, we also demonstrate how
a number of extensions to CoAP help to lower the barrier
for developing applications even further.
