## What it is
A Node.js library providing a simple, socket-oriented API for messaging via RabbitMQ, built on amqplib. It supports publish/subscribe, push/pull, and request/reply patterns using Node streams.

## Use cases
- publish and subscribe to message queues in node.js
- connect node.js apps to rabbitmq easily
- relay messages from rabbitmq to browsers via sockjs
- coordinate communication between node.js services
- stream-based pub/sub messaging in javascript

## When to choose
- you want a simple stream-based abstraction over RabbitMQ in Node.js
- you need quick pub/sub or req/rep messaging without dealing with raw AMQP
- you're building small-to-medium Node.js services that coordinate via RabbitMQ

## When to avoid
- you need full AMQP 0-9-1 features like exchanges, routing keys, or fine-grained channel control
- you're not using Node.js
- you need a library under active development with recent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: message-queue, http-server, websocket
- domain: backend, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: rabbitmq, amqp, pubsub, streaming, messaging-patterns, messaging, nodejs, javascript
