Overview

AMQP is an open Internet Protocol for Business Messaging.

The AMQP Working Group are collaborating on specifications for messaging infrastructure that provides a simple yet powerful way of connecting messaging-dependent applications. AMQP's scope covers messaging within and between firms, with applicability to both business and infrastructure messaging. The resulting specifications are published here under royalty-free terms.

The AMQP messaging infrastructure will be:

Broadly applicable for enterprise use
Totally open
Platform agnostic
Interoperable

Why AMQP?	What is AMQP?	AMQP Model	Wire-Level Format
Though many networking protocol needs have been addressed, a large gap exists in common guaranteed-delivery messaging middleware. AMQP fills that gap...	AMQP enables complete interoperability for messaging middleware, both the networking protocol and the semantics of broker services are defined in AMQP.	The AMQP model explicitly defines the server's semantics because interoperability demands the same semantics for any server implementation.	To enable technology-neutral interoperability, AMQP defines an efficient wire-level format with modern features.
