Information technology — Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) v1.0 specification
ISO/IEC 19464:2014 defines the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), an open internet protocol for business messaging. It defines a binary wire-level protocol that allows for the reliable exchange of business messages between two parties. AMQP has a layered architecture and the specification is organized as a set of parts that reflects that architecture. Part 1 defines the AMQP type system and encoding. Part 2 defines the AMQP transport layer, an efficient, binary, peer-to-peer protocol for transporting messages between two processes over a network. Part 3 defines the AMQP message format, with a concrete encoding. Part 4 defines how interactions can be grouped within atomic transactions. Part 5 defines the AMQP security layers.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 19464 was prepared by the OASIS Advanced Message Queuing Protocol Technical Committee (as
OASIS Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) Version 1.0) and was adopted, under the PAS
procedure, by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, in parallel with its approval
by the national bodies of ISO and IEC.

Abstract:
The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is an open internet protocol for business messaging. It defines a binary
wire-level protocol that allows for the reliable exchange of business messages between two parties. AMQP has a layered
architecture and the specification is organized as a set of parts that reflects that architecture. Part 1 defines the AMQP type
system and encoding. Part 2 defines the AMQP transport layer, an efficient, binary, peer-to-peer protocol for transporting
messages between two processes over a network. Part 3 defines the AMQP message format, with a concrete encoding. Part
4 defines how interactions can be grouped within atomic transactions. Part 5 defines the AMQP security layers.

OASIS requests that any OASIS Party or any other party that believes it has patent claims that would necessarily be infringed
by implementations of this OASIS Committee Specification or OASIS Standard, to notify OASIS TC Administrator and provide
an indication of its willingness to grant patent licenses to such patent claims in a manner consistent with the IPR Mode of the
OASIS Technical Committee that produced this specification.
OASIS invites any party to contact the OASIS TC Administrator if it is aware of a claim of ownership of any patent claims
that would necessarily be infringed by implementations of this specification by a patent holder that is not willing to provide a
license to such patent claims in a manner consistent with the IPR Mode of the OASIS Technical Committee that produced this
specification. OASIS may include such claims on its website, but disclaims any obligation to do so.
OASIS takes no position regarding the validity or scope of any intellectual property or other rights that might be claimed to
pertain to the implementation or use of the technology described in this document or the extent to which any license under
such rights might or might not be available; neither does it represent that it has made any effort to identify any such rights.

Committee can be found on the OASIS website. Copies of claims of rights made available for publication and any assurances
of licenses to be made available, or the result of an attempt made to obtain a general license or permission for the use of such
proprietary rights by implementers or users of this OASIS Committee Specification or OASIS Standard, can be obtained from
the OASIS TC Administrator. OASIS makes no representation that any information or list of intellectual property rights will at
any time be complete, or that any claims in such list are, in fact, Essential Claims.
