Best way to send text to ESP8266 remote display I need a remote display to show information sent via WiFi from another ESP8266. What needs to be sent is a string along with some variables, for example a string to be displayed along with two integers for the position on the display:

0, 12, "message to display on screen"


As I am absolutely new to network stuff, what would be the best way to achieve this?


Sending a POST request through REST API? 
Use UDP instead?
Or better use a framework like MQTT?
Try the esp8266 UDP messages

With UDP you can send and receive messages quite easily and without consuming lots of resources.
