Streaming Text Oriented Messaging Protocol
Communications protocol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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]

Overview
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.
Example
SEND destination:/queue/a content-type:text/plain hello queue a ^@
Implementations
Some message-oriented middleware products support STOMP,[4] such as:
