  <h1>What is AMQP?</h1>

  <p>AMQP <a href="http://www.amqp.org">Advanced Message Queuing Protocol</a> is an open standard designed to support reliable, high-performance messaging over the Internet. AMQP can be used for any distributed or business application, and supports common messaging paradigms like point-to-point, fanout, publish-subscribe, and request-response.</p>

  <p>Apache Qpid implements AMQP, including transaction management, queuing, clustering, federation, security, management and multi-platform support.</p>


  <p>Apache Qpid implements the latest AMQP specification, providing transaction management, queuing, distribution, security, management, clustering, federation and heterogeneous multi-platform support and a lot more. </p>

  <p>Apache Qpid is highly optimized, and <a href="compatibility.html" title="AMQP compatibility">aims to be 100% AMQP Compliant</a>.</p>
