Currently, the following providers are available:</p><ul><li><a shape="rect" href="apachenmsactivemq.xml"><strong>ActiveMQ</strong></a> client which communicates with ActiveMQ using its own native wire protocol and provides many <a shape="rect" href="activemq-advanced-features.xml">advanced features</a> beyond the standard NMS API.</li><li><a shape="rect" href="apachenmsstomp.xml"><strong>STOMP</strong></a> which connects to any <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://stomp.codehaus.org/" rel="nofollow">STOMP Broker</a>.&#160; Also, when coupled with <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://stomp.codehaus.org/StompConnect" rel="nofollow">StompConnect</a>, NMS can be used to communicate with pretty much any existing MOM provider! (Or at least those that support JMS which most MOM providers do).</li><li><a shape="rect" href="apachenmsmsmq.xml"><strong>MSMQ</strong></a> is an implementation of NMS using Microsoft's MSMQ API.</li><li><a shape="rect" href="apachenmsems.xml"><strong>EMS</strong></a> provider for talking to TIBCO's EMS message broker.&#160; To use this, you will need to following TIBCO's licensing requirements to acquire the TIBCO client assembly DLL.&#160; NMS does not ship with the TIBCO client assembly.</li><li><a shape="rect" href="apachenmswcf.xml"><strong>WCF</strong></a> provides support of Windows Communications Framework.</li><li><a shape="rect" href="apachenmsamqp.xml"><strong>AMQP</strong></a> is an implementation of NMS using the <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="https://qpid.apache.org/components/messaging-api/index.html">Apache Qpid Messaging API</a>. AMQP 1.0 protocol support is provided by <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="https://qpid.apache.org/proton/index.html">Apache Qpid Proton</a>.</li><li><a shape="rect" href="apachenmsmqtt.xml"><strong>MQTT</strong></a> provider uses the&#160;publish-subscribe<span style="color: rgb(37,37,37);">&#160;pattern that is a "light weight" messaging protocol for use on top of the&#160;</span><a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP" rel="nofollow" title="TCP/IP">TCP/IP protocol</a><span style="color: rgb(37,37,37);">.&#160;</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(37,37,37);"><strong><a shape="rect" href="apachenmsxms.xml">XMS</a></strong> provider connects to the IBM WebSphere MQ Series broker.</span></li></ul><h3 id="Index-News">News</h3><p>
