<div class="wiki-content maincontent"><h3>NMS Providers</h3><p>An NMS Provider is a .NET Assembly that provides an implementation of the NMS API that provides connectivity with a particular Messaging Service or an implementation of a standard Messaging Protocol. Currently, the following providers are available:</p><ul><li><link><page ri:content-title="Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ"></page><link-body><strong>ActiveMQ</strong></link-body></link> client which communicates with ActiveMQ using its own native wire protocol and provides many <link><page ri:content-title="ActiveMQ Advanced Features"></page><plain-text-link-body>advanced features</plain-text-link-body></link> beyond the standard NMS API.</li><li><link><page ri:content-title="Apache.NMS.Stomp"></page><link-body><strong>STOMP</strong></link-body></link> which connects to any <a shape="rect" href="http://stomp.codehaus.org/">STOMP Broker</a>.&#160; Also, when coupled with <a shape="rect" href="http://stomp.codehaus.org/StompConnect">StompConnect</a>, NMS can be used to communicate with pretty much any existing MOM provider!
