AMQP 0-9-1 is a binary messaging protocol and semantic framework for microservices and enterprise messaging.

AMQP 0-9-1 and AMQP 1.0

Despite similar names and, to some extent, a common lineage, AMQP 0-9-1 and AMQP 1.0 are completely different messaging protocols and not a revision of the same idea. AMQP 1.0 has a different scope and topology model. RabbitMQ supports AMQP 0-9-1, AMQP 1.0, MQTT and STOMP. See documentation ToC for details.
