| 1.1</a>. It utilises an <a class="link" href="http://www.amqp.org" target="_top">AMQP</a> transport layer for the performing of messaging operations. | |
| The client is intended to be used for writing of JMS compatible messaging applications. Such | |
| applications can send and receive messages via any AMQP-compatible brokers like RabbitMQ, | |
| Apache Qpid Broker-J which supports AMQP protocols 0-8, 0-9, or 0-9-1.</p><p>The Client hides the details of AMQP transport implementation behind the JMS API. | |
| Thus, the developers need only to be familiar with JMS API in order to use the client. However, | |
| the knowledge of the basic concepts of AMQP protocols can help developers in writing reliable | |
| and high-performant messaging application. </p><div class="important" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Using the Client with 0-10</h3><p>This book documents the behaviour of the Apache Qpid JMS client for AMQP 0-9-1/0-10 when used with the AMQP | |
