Simple (or Streaming) Text Oriented Message Protocol (STOMP), formerly known as TTMP, is a simple text-based protocol, designed for working with message-oriented middleware (MOM). It provides an interoperable wire format that allows STOMP clients to talk with any message broker supporting the protocol.{{Cite web|url=https://stomp.github.io|title=STOMP - The Simple Text Oriented Messaging Protocol|website=stomp.github.io}}{{Cite book|url=https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4302-4741-8|chapter-url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4302-4741-8_5|title=The Definitive Guide to HTML5 WebSocket|author1=Vanessa Wang |author2=Frank Salim |author3=Peter Moskovits|publisher=Apress|chapter=Using Messaging over WebSocket with STOMP|date=2013|pages=85–108 |doi=10.1007/978-1-4302-4741-8_5 |isbn=978-1-4302-4740-1 }}

Overview

The protocol is broadly similar to HTTP, and works over TCP using the following commands:{{Cite web|url=https://stomp.github.io/stomp-specification-1.2.html|title=STOMP Protocol Specification, Version 1.2|website=stomp.github.io}}

CONNECT
SEND
SUBSCRIBE
UNSUBSCRIBE
BEGIN
COMMIT
ABORT
ACK
NACK
DISCONNECT

Communication between client and server is through a "frame" consisting of a number of lines. The first line contains the command, followed by headers in the form : (one per line), followed by a blank line and then the body content, ending in a null character. Communication between server and client is through a MESSAGE, RECEIPT or ERROR frame with a similar format of headers and body content.

Example

SEND

destination:/queue/a

content-type:text/plain

hello queue a
