Awesome Protocols

Curated list of awesome technology protocols with a reference to official RFCs.

Listed protocols are open standards and agnostic by specific language implementations, anyway a library should be available in your preferred language. If not, you can write your own :)

Protocols

Electric Vehicles Recharge

• OCPP - Open Charge Point Protocol - A protocol that allows a client to control Mobility Charging Stations.
• OSCP - Open Smart Charging Protocol - A protocol that enables an optimized electric vehicle charging.
• OICP - Open Interchange Protocol - A protocol that enables CPO (Charge Point Operators) and (EMP) E-mobility Service Provider interoperability via Hubject hub.
• OCPI - Open Charge Point Interface - The Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) enables a scalable, automated EV roaming setup between Charge Point Operators and eMobility Service Providers.

IoT Devices

• ONVIF - An interoperability protocol for IP-based physical security products. For instance, it allows us to control cameras streaming and PTZ (Pinch Tilt Zoom).

Authentication

• OAuth2 - A standard protocol for users and systems authentication.
• OpenID Connect - A protocol that adds an identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol.
• SAML2 - A standard protocol for users authentication.
• SCIM2 - A standard protocol for users and groups management.
• PKCE - An extension of Authorization Code Grant flow by OAuth.
• OpenID Connect RP-Initiated Logout - A mechanism for a Relying Party to request that an OpenID Provider log out the End-User.
• OpenID Connect Back-Channel Logout - This specification defines a logout mechanism that uses direct back-channel communication between the OP and RPs being logged out.
• OpenID Connect Front-Channel Logout - This specification defines a logout mechanism that uses front-channel communication via the User Agent between the OP and RPs being logged out.

RPC

• gRPC - A Google framework for Remote Procedure Calls.
• Protocol Buffers - A language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible way of serializing structured data for use in communications protocols.
• Thrift - An Apache framework for Remote Procedure Calls.
• DBus - A message bus system that enables multiple local applications to talk to one another.

Messaging

• MQTT - A lightweight messaging transport protocol, great for IoT communication.
• AMQP - A messaging transport protocol.

Data Formats

• GeoJSON - A geospatial data interchange format based on JSON.
• JWT - A standard method for securely representing claims between two parties.
• JSON Schema - A standard for JSON structure validation.

Consensus

• RAFT - A consensus algorithm for managing a replicated data.
• Scuttlebutt Protocol - Scuttlebutt is a protocol for building decentralized applications that work well offline and that no one person can control.

File Exchange

• WebDAV - A standard protocol for remote file editing, based on HTTP.
• FTP - A standard protocol for remote file editing.

4 Humans

• Semantic versioning - Semantic versioning is a formal convention for specifying compatibility using a three-part version number: major version; minor version; and patch.
• Conventional commits - A specification for adding human and machine readable meaning to commit messages.
