Sensor Measurement Lists
RFC 8428, “Sensor Measurement Lists”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2018 by C. Jennings, Z. Shelby, J. Arkko, A. Keranen, C. Bormann. It has since been updated by RFC 9100. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
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.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
