Frontendbackend interface - what are the options?

Question

linux

There is a certain embedded Linux-based system. The main software that performs the basic operations is written in C and runs as a background process. There is a desire to make a web interface for management/monitoring. I'm thinking of making it like a Java tomcat application. Who will advise what interfaces for communicating the background backend with a Java application?

Answer 1

Not a great Java specialist, but the task is very similar to what they do in IoT, and there standard solutions are, for example, MQTT and CBOR. For both, there seem to be libraries in Java.
