We are pleased to announce the approval and publication of an OASIS Committee Specification (CS) by the members of the OASIS Advanced Message Queueing Protocol (AMQP) TC [1]:
OASIS Advanced Message Queueing Protocol (AMQP) Version 1.0
Committee Specification 01
18 July 2012
Overview:
AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) is an efficient, reliable, wire level messaging protocol supporting common middleware messaging interaction patterns: messaging, request/response, publish/subscribe, transactions, and store and forward. It allows middleware applications to communicate with each other without having to have the same infrastructure on both ends (i.e. it provides vendor-neutral communications).
Like all communication protocols, AMQP describes the message syntax and sequence for performing their different assigned tasks. AMQP is capable of being used in both synchronous (point-to-point) and asynchronous (broker based) architectures and is independent of any particular broker architecture. AMQP is of special importance in providing enterprise and cloud messaging services.
URIs:
The complete Committee Specification is available in PDF, HTML (six parts), and XML (six parts) formats in the OASIS Library at:
The HTML Overview file, which contains links to all other parts, may be accessed at:
A ZIP file containing all three formats (683k) is available at:
Members of the AMQP TC requested a Special Majority Vote to approve the Committee Specification. The Committee Specification Draft had been released for public review as required by the TC Process [2]. The vote to approve at Committee Specification (CS) level passed [3], and the approved CS01 is now available online in the OASIS Library as referenced above.
Our congratulations to the TC on achieving this milestone.
Kind regards,
Paul Knight
