Welcome

Getting Started

Your problem: to connect your applications cheaply and safely without paying a fortune for dead-end proprietary products.

Our proposal: a complete AMQ message queueing broker that gives you extreme performance but remains easy to use and highly reliable.

The OpenAMQ server is free software licensed under the Free Software Foundation's GPL.

The OpenAMQ client libraries (WireAPI) are free software licensed under the BSD License.

You can download and install OpenAMQ in just a few minutes for your Linux, Windows, or Solaris system.

No package dependencies, no DLLs - the OpenAMQ package comes with everything you need to get started.

The OpenAMQ server (broker) installs and runs out-of-the-box with zero configuration except setting an admin password.

Of course you can also tune the server's performance, logging, security, and other functions.

The WireAPI clients give your applications the power of messaging in a simple and consistent API.

An easy-to-use alternative to JMS that works with C, C++, Perl, Java, Python, COM, and more languages.

The OpenAMQ community site is at wiki.openamq.org.
