node-qpid

A Node.js native wrapper around Apache Qpid, specifically the AMQP 1.0 Proton C API

Usage

You can use it to exchange messages with AMQP 1.0 brokers:

// Sending
var Messenger = require('qpid').proton.Messenger;
var m = new Messenger();

m.send({address: address, body: message}, function(err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log("Error sending message: " + err.message);
  }
});

// Receiving
var Messenger = require('qpid').proton.Messenger;
var m = new Messenger();

m.on('subscribed', function(url) {
  console.log("Subscribed to " + url);
});

m.on('message', function(message) {
  console.log(message.body);
});

m.subscribe(address).receive();

The module has been preliminarily tested against:

• Windows Azure Service Bus
• ActiveMQ 5.8 snapshot builds w/ AMQP 1.0 support
• RabbitMQ with the AMQP 1.0 Plugin

Installation

It expects you to already have version 0.3 of the qpid-proton library installed on your (Linux) system.

Issues

It's still rough around the edges and not ready for prime time, but pull requests are welcomed!
