I am interested in a non-jms api, frankly, for some silly reasons. I
have never gotten used to Java's (J2EE's actually) InitialContext, JNDI,
various configuration files, etc.
I also expect that the AMQP library to be faster and possibly better
typed--so I don't deal with generic onMessage(Message) or
onMessage(Object), etc. functions ('generic' being used here as normal
English, not as Java's Generics)
I am a single developer here who needs to quickly set up the broker and
start publishing/subscribing to data. All my development is new. I
need to deal with financial data, which means as low latency as
possible. My previous JMS experience is basically limited to what the
infrastructure folks set up for us.
Hope this helps.

On trunk (i.e. not yet a released version) there is a non-JMS low level
API.

So far, we have found that almost all our users want a JMS API since
most people are either migrating from another JMS product or are
familiar with JMS due to its ubiquity. Things like Mule or Spring work
out of the box with Qpid for example because it is JMS compliant.
However, it may be that some people want to interact directly at the
protocol level and that was the motivation for having another API.
I would be very interested to know your reasons for wanting to avoid
JMS and also, if you can share it, what your use case is. This is so
that we can make sure we address all your requirements in the next
release(s). The people who have worked on the low level API can also
perhaps help out here.
Thanks,
Robert
