Orion Context Broker: Introduction

Orion Context Broker is the core component of the FIWARE platform, designed to manage context information at large scales in real-time. It enables applications, IoT devices, and services to publish, update, and consume context data through a centralized system. This context data can represent information from the physical world, such as environmental sensor readings, or from digital services.

Orion Context Broker provides a Next Generation Service Interface (NGSI), allowing external systems to interact with context data via simple RESTful APIs. It is crucial in IoT and Smart City solutions where multiple devices, systems, and applications need to exchange dynamic context information.

This guide provides detailed instructions on how to configure and use Orion Context Broker.
