It is safe to use "." has MQTT topic level separator instead of "/"?
<p>The are several devices connected to RabbitMQ using <em>MQTT</em> protocol and there are many nodejs process subscribed with <em>AMPQ</em> protocol to RabbitMQ to fetch data from those devices.</p>

<p>The devices are publishing with topics structured like this: <strong>data.DEVICETYPE.IDDEVICE</strong>, for example one nodejs process is subscribed on the topic <strong>data.#</strong> for getting ALL messages from devices.</p>

<p>My concern is about the separator that, in this case, is the "."; because in all examples and the documentation of the MQTT protocol, they always use "/" (like a path folder) so i started to think that using the point instead of slash could be a problem.</p>

<p>It's worth to mention that the system actually works well, but i really don't know if in the future this decision could rise compatibly problems.</p>

<p>EDIT: Actually my structure is like this: <a href="https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-five-javascript.html" rel="nofollow">RabbitMQ Topic structure</a>
I started from this to create that topic structure.</p>
