This document specifies the API for Qpid Proton. It is meant to serve as API documentation and as a reference point for concrete implementations.
Qpid Proton is an event-driven messaging API for building clients, brokers, and more. It uses the AMQP 1.0 wire protocol, so it can exchange messages with other components that use the same open internet standard. The Proton API is available in many popular programming languages.
For more information see the Proton API overview. If you are developing a new implementation, take a look at the implementation guide.
Implementations: C API reference, C++ API reference, Java API reference, Python API reference
AMQP: Type system, Transport layer, Messaging layer, Transactions, Security layers
