The Web Application Messaging Protocol
Quick Links: Project homepage | Latest Internet Draft (ID) | Project mailing list | IETF mailing list
WAMP is an open standard WebSocket subprotocol that provides two application messaging patterns in one unified protocol:
- Remote Procedure Calls and
- Publish & Subscribe
Using WAMP you can build distributed systems out of application components which are loosely coupled and communicate in (soft) real-time.
The WAMP spec is a community effort and the spec is made available for free under an open license for everyone to use or implement.
WAMP implementations are available for many different languages and run-time environments.
