AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) is the standard messaging protocol that RabbitMQ primarily implements — defining how messages are formatted and exchanged between clients and the broker. Understanding AMQP clarifies the protocol underlying RabbitMQ.
Cad is AMQP
AMQP = a standardized, open PROTOCOL for message-oriented middleware:
→ defines the format of messages and the rules for exchanging them (between clients and
brokers)
→ an open standard → interoperability (different clients/brokers can communicate)
→ RabbitMQ's primary protocol (AMQP 0-9-1) → the model of exchanges, queues, bindings is
AMQP's model
→ AMQP is the protocol; RabbitMQ is a broker that implements it
