# CoAP client example
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
this CoAP client example is adaptation of one of the [libcoap](https://github.com/obgm/libcoap) example.
CoAP client example would connect your ESP32 device to any CoAP server, fetch data from CoAP server and upstream data to CoAP server.
The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a specialized web transfer protocol for use with constrained nodes and constrained networks in the Internet of Things.
The protocol is designed for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications such as smart energy and building automation.
Please refer to [RFC7252](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/pdfrfc/rfc7252.txt.pdf) for more details.
## How to use example
### Configure the project
```
make menuconfig
```
* Set serial port under Serial Flasher config
* Set Target Uri under Example Configuration
* Set WiFi SSID under Example Configuration
* Set WiFi Password under Example Configuration
### Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
```
make -j4 flash monitor
```
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
## Example Output
Prerequisite: we startup a CoAP server on coap server example.
and you could receive data from CoAP server if succeed,
such as the following log:
```
...

```
## Troubleshooting
* Please make sure Target Url includes valid `host`, `port`, `path`, and begins with `coap://`
