<title>Apache Qpid: Open Source AMQP Messaging</title>
<para>Enterprise Messaging systems let programs communicate by exchanging messages, much as people communicate by exchanging email. Unlike email, enterprise messaging systems provide guaranteed delivery, speed, security, and freedom from spam. Until recently, there was no open standard for Enterprise Messaging systems, so programmers either wrote their own, or used expensive proprietary systems.</para>
<para>AMQP Advanced Message Queuing Protocol is the first open standard for Enterprise Messaging. It is designed to support messaging for just about any distributed or business application. Routing can be configured flexibly, easily supporting common messaging paradigms like point-to-point, fanout, publish-subscribe, and request-response.</para>
<para>Apache Qpid implements the latest AMQP specification, providing transaction management, queuing, distribution, security, management, clustering, federation and heterogeneous multi-platform support and a lot more. And Apache Qpid is extremely fast. Apache Qpid <ulink url="### FIX ME ###">aims to be 100% AMQP Compliant</ulink>.</para>
<section>
<title>AMQP Messaging Brokers</title>
<para>Qpid provides two AMQP messaging brokers:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Implemented in C++ - high performance, low latency, and RDMA support.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Implemented in Java - Fully JMS compliant, runs on any Java platform.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Both AMQP messaging brokers support clients in multiple languages, as long as the messaging client and the messaging broker use the same version of AMQP. See <ulink url="### FIX ME ###">Download</ulink> to see which messaging clients work with each broker.</para>
