Sensor Measurement Lists (SenML)
Abstract
This specification defines a format for representing simple sensor
measurements and device parameters in Sensor Measurement Lists
(SenML). Representations are defined in JavaScript Object Notation
(JSON), Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), Extensible
Markup Language (XML), and Efficient XML Interchange (EXI), which
share the common SenML data model. A simple sensor, such as a
temperature sensor, could use one of these media types in protocols
such as HTTP or the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) to
transport the measurements of the sensor or to be configured.
