  After briefly discussing the discovery of a Higgs boson at the Large Hadron
Collider, an overview of recent results in Higgs boson physics obtained with
the CMS experiment is presented. The focus is on measurements of the properties
of the recently discovered Higgs boson with a mass of about 125 GeV. A brief
selection of results in searches for Higgs bosons beyond the standard model is
given, and prospects of future Higgs boson measurements and searches are
discussed.
