Streaming Text Oriented Messaging Protocol
open-in-new
<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <p>The protocol is broadly similar to <a href="/facts/HTTP/TWtvf7JD">HTTP</a>, and works over <a href="/facts/Transmission_Control_Protocol/WW4sPrt9">TCP</a> using the following commands:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p> <ul><li>CONNECT</li> <li>SEND</li> <li>SUBSCRIBE</li> <li>UNSUBSCRIBE</li> <li>BEGIN</li> <li>COMMIT</li> <li>ABORT</li> <li>ACK</li> <li>NACK</li> <li>DISCONNECT</li></ul> <p>Communication between client and server is through a "frame" consisting of a number of lines. The first line contains the command, followed by headers in the form <key>: <value> (one per line), followed by a blank line and then the body content, ending in a <a href="/facts/Null_character/IMYNHNxR">null character</a>. Communication between server and client is through a MESSAGE, RECEIPT or ERROR frame with a similar format of headers and body content. </p> <h2 id="example">Example</h2> SEND destination:/queue/a content-type:text/plain hello queue a ^@ <h2 id="implementations">Implementations</h2> <p>Some message-oriented middleware products support STOMP,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> such as:: </p> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Apache_ActiveMQ/qxP90TQI">Apache ActiveMQ</a>,</li> <li><a href="http://fusesource.com/products/enterprise-activemq/">Fuse Message Broker</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a></li> <li><a href="/facts/HornetQ/hcSlnpSI">HornetQ</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Open_Message_Queue/Up59FkM8">Open Message Queue (OpenMQ)</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/RabbitMQ/oL8BUYy0">RabbitMQ</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Syslog-ng/7t4rNoER">syslog-ng</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Spring_Framework/ajIwLM73">Spring Framework</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>"STOMP - The Simple Text Oriented Messaging Protocol". stomp.github.io. <a href="https://stomp.github.io" target="_blank">https://stomp.github.io</a> <a href="#fnref:1" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:2"><p>Vanessa Wang; Frank Salim; Peter Moskovits (2013).
