Protocol Reference

This section contains information on how different protocols represent AMPS headers. The AMPS clients handle constructing and parsing AMPS headers. However, understanding the format of command can be useful when inspecting trace level logs or network traffic captures.

The amps protocol is the recommended protocol for all application development. The other protocols are included for legacy compatibility. While they will remain supported for their current functionality, the legacy protocols will not be enhanced further. These protocols have limitations in current versions of AMPS, and future features of AMPS may require the amps protocol.

(Notice that websocket connections use the websocket transport framing, but interact with AMPS using the amps protocol.)
