[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

**Simple (or Streaming) Text Oriented Message Protocol (STOMP)**, formerly known as Text Oriented Messaging Protocol(TTMP), is a simple text-based [[[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:protocol]]]], designed for working with [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:m:mom]]. It provides an interoperable [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:w:wireprotocol]] format that allows **STOMP** [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:client | Clients]] to talk with any [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:m:msg_broker]] supporting the protocol. 

The protocol is broadly similar to [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:h:http]], and works over [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:t:tcp]] using the following commands:

  * CONNECT
  * SEND
  * SUBSCRIBE
  * UNSUBSCRIBE
  * BEGIN
  * COMMIT
  * ABORT
  * ACK
  * NACK
  * DISCONNECT

Communication between [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:client-server]] is through a "frame" consisting of a number of lines. The first line contains the command, followed by headers in the form **''<key>: <value>''** (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.
