## What it is
EasyNetQ is an easy-to-use .NET client API for RabbitMQ that simplifies pub/sub messaging, delayed scheduling, and RPC over an AMQP broker. It integrates with Microsoft DI and includes a companion management client library for the RabbitMQ management API.

## Use cases
- publish and subscribe to messages with rabbitmq in .net
- implement request-response rpc over a message broker
- schedule delayed message delivery in dotnet
- simplify rabbitmq client code with a high-level api
- build management or monitoring tools for rabbitmq via its management api
- integrate messaging into asp.net core dependency injection

## When to choose
- you want a simple, opinionated high-level API over RabbitMQ in .NET instead of the raw AMQP client
- you need pub/sub, routing, delayed publishing, and RPC with minimal boilerplate
- you use Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection and want first-class DI integration

## When to avoid
- you need fine-grained control over exchanges, queues, and AMQP features - use the official RabbitMQ .NET client
- your project is not on the .NET platform
- you use a message broker other than RabbitMQ

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: message-queue, rpc, serialization, middleware
- domain: backend, microservices, developer-tools
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: rabbitmq, pubsub, message-bus, dotnet-core, amqp, messaging
