1. Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) :
It is a protocol that is used for communication between applications. It is a lightweight, protocol which supports the applications for its transfer of data. This protocol is used for it scalability and modularity with the technologies.
2. Java Message Service (JMS) :
It is an application program interface (API) that supports the communication for the computer in a network. It is a powerful API used for receiving the messages generated during the communication.

| Abbreviation |

| Developed by |

Security is not provided and it is depended with the JMS provider. |
| Data Flow |
It is the producers which sends the message and then it is queued. |
It is managed by the producers and send directly to the topic. |
| Technology flexibility |
It is flexible with many technologies. |
