LiteMQ

A light message-oriented middleware in Javascript based on Apache's ActiveMQ. LiteMQ is great for single-page apps since it promotes loosely coupling between modules.

• the minified version for production
• the uncompressed version for development

Getting Started

Put this somewhere in your code:

client1 = new LiteMQ.Client();
client1.sub('some-event', function (msg) {
	console.log('Name: '+msg.body.name);
	console.log('Age: '+msg.body.age);
});

And put this somewhere else in the same code:

client2 = new LiteMQ.Client();
client2.pub('some-event', {name: 'John', age: 23});

It will output this on your console:

Name: John
Age: 23

Benefits

• Easier to test (since it has fewer dependencies)
• Easier to develop modules (since different developers can implement different modules at the same time)
• Easier to maintain (since you're not dealing with big monolithic code)

Dependencies

LiteMQ has only one dependency: the O framework. This is intentional since LiteMQ is designed to be extensible. If you disagree with the implementation you can extend the Client class and implement your own logic.
