Streaming Text Oriented Messaging Protocol

Simple (or Streaming) Text Oriented Message Protocol (STOMP), formerly known as TTMP, is a simple text-based protocol, designed for working with message-oriented middleware (MOM). It provides an interoperable wire format that allows STOMP clients to talk with any message broker supporting the protocol.^[1][2]

The protocol is broadly similar to HTTP, and works over TCP using the following commands:^[3]

• CONNECT
• SEND
• SUBSCRIBE
• UNSUBSCRIBE
• BEGIN
• COMMIT
• ABORT
• ACK
• NACK
• DISCONNECT

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 null character. Communication between server and client is through a MESSAGE, RECEIPT or ERROR frame with a similar format of headers and body content.

SEND
destination:/queue/a
content-type:text/plain

hello queue a
^@

Some message-oriented middleware products support STOMP,^[4] such as::

• Apache ActiveMQ,
• Fuse Message Broker^[5]
• HornetQ
• Open Message Queue (OpenMQ)
• RabbitMQ^[6]
• syslog-ng^[7]
• Spring Framework^[8]
