This library enables clients to connect to STOMP brokers over WebSocket (or TCP). It fully implements the STOMP protocol specifications (v1.0, v1.1, and v1.2), making it compatible with any broker that supports STOMP or STOMP over WebSocket.

Popular brokers like RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, and others provide support for STOMP and STOMP over WebSockets out-of-the-box.

Features

- Simple and intuitive API for interacting with the STOMP protocol
- Support for STOMP protocol versions: 1.2, 1.1, and 1.0
- Support for fallback options when WebSocket is unavailable
- Supports both browser and Node.js environments
- Option to connect using STOMP over TCP
- Full support for binary payloads
- Compatible with RxJS for reactive programming
