DESCRIPTION

This module implements the frame (de)serialization and representation of the Advanced Message Queue Protocol (http://www.amqp.org/). It is to be used in conjunction with client or server software that does the actual \s-1TCP/IP\s0 communication.

CLASS METHODS

parse_raw_frames

Net::AMQP->parse_raw_frames(\$binary_payload)

Given a scalar reference to a binary string, return a list of Net::AMQP::Frame objects, consuming the data in the string. Croaks on invalid input.

AMQP VERSIONS

\s-1AMQP\s0 0-8 is fully supported.

\s-1AMQP\s0 0-9, 0-9-1, and 0-10 are usably supported. There are interoperability issues with table encodings because the standard disagrees with the dialects of major implementations (RabbitMQ and Qpid). For now, Net::AMQP limits itself to universally agreed table elements. See http://www.rabbitmq.com/amqp-0-9-1-errata.html <http://www.rabbitmq.com/amqp-0-9-1-errata.html> for details.

\s-1AMQP\s0 1.0 has not been tested.

TODO

Address the dialect problem, either via modified spec files that completely control the wire protocol, or by programmatic request. The former has precedent (viz \*(L"qpid.amqp0-8.xml\*(R" in spec), but could cause a combinatorial explosion as more brokers and versions are added. The latter adds interface complexity.
