• An open-standard application layer protocol for message-oriented middleware. The defining features of AMQP are message orientation, queuing, routing (including point-to-point and publish-and-subscribe), reliability, and security. The protocol mandates the behavior of the messaging provider and client to the extent that implementations from different vendors are interoperable, in the same way that SMTP, HTTP, FTP, etc. have created interoperable systems. AMQP was created in 2003. ← Wikipedia ↑ amqp.org
