About:
ActiveMQ-CPP is a C++ client library that implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) and OpenWire protocols. It enables C++ applications to connect to and communicate with message brokers like Apache ActiveMQ and ActiveMQ Artemis. The library provides a robust API for sending, receiving, and managing messages asynchronously or synchronously.

Key Features:

Supports both OpenWire and AMQP protocols
Asynchronous message consumption with dispatchers
Connection pooling and failover support
Message acknowledgment and transaction management

Use Cases:

Integrating C++ applications into enterprise messaging systems
Building high-performance, event-driven microservices
Migrating legacy C++ systems to a message-driven architecture

Alternatives:

RabbitMQ C++ Client – RabbitMQ client is specific to the AMQP 0-9-1 protocol, whereas ActiveMQ-CPP supports OpenWire and AMQP for broader ActiveMQ compatibility.
ZeroMQ – ZeroMQ is a lightweight messaging kernel that requires more manual infrastructure setup, whereas ActiveMQ-CPP provides a full client implementation for standard broker architectures.
