what advantage does wamp have over say mqtt?
Asmod4n
WAMP is just a messaging protocol, mqtt is a transport protocol.

Can WebRtc Data channels be added a transport? With Websockets, it is still a server <--> client paradigm, as against a p2p friendly webrtc

How does one inspect WAMP payloads in the browser? I played with the demo app that syncs the position of a remote cursor with a local one, generating >100 state updates in the process. I was curious what those messages consisted of, but the Dev Tools Network tab didn't log any network events besides an initial "ws" asset of indefinite "(pending)" duration.

I looked at FAQs. I'm looking for details why we need WAMP and what problem does it solve. Could you point me to it ?

It supplies rpc and pub/sub and has several language bindings (python, js, C++ in our case) We use it; it’s ok. I haven’t found anything better.

I would like something lower overhead than websockets but then js support would be likely more painful.

confusing name since wamp is a Windows stack for apache, mysql and php.
