+# mqtt-rpc
+
+This package provides an RPC client interface over MQTT.
+
+It's currently quite low-level and not very configurable, but I'm
+using it in a real application, so it at least needs to work for me.
+:)
+
+## Example:
+
+```haskell
+  mc <- connectURI mqttConfig{_protocol=Protocol50} "mqtt://broker/"
+  response <- call mc "some/path" "a message"
+  BL.hPut stdout response
+```
