STOMP (Simple Text Oriented Messaging Protocol)

A text-based messaging protocol commonly used over WebSocket for connecting browsers to message brokers like RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ. STOMP defines a small set of commands: CONNECT, SEND, SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, ACK, NACK, and DISCONNECT. Its text-based frame format makes it easy to debug and implement, though binary protocols like MQTT or AMQP offer more efficiency.
