            <p>Apache ActiveMQ&trade; is the most popular open source, multi-protocol, Java-based messaging server. It supports industry standard protocols so users get the benefits of client choices across a broad range of languages and platforms. Connectivity from C, C++, Python, .Net, and more is available. Integrate your multi-platform applications using the ubiquitous <strong>AMQP</strong> protocol. Exchange messages between your web applications using <strong>STOMP</strong> over websockets. Manage your IoT devices using <strong>MQTT</strong>. Support your existing <strong>JMS</strong> infrastructure and beyond. ActiveMQ offers the power and flexibility to support any messaging use-case.</p>
            <p>There are currently two "flavors" of ActiveMQ available - the "classic" 5.x broker and the "next generation" Artemis broker. Once Artemis reaches a sufficient level of feature parity with the 5.x code-base it will become ActiveMQ 6. Initial <a href="{{site.baseurl}}/components/artemis/migration">migration documentation</a> is available.</p>
