## What it is
A JavaScript STOMP client library that lets web browsers (over WebSockets) and node.js applications (over raw TCP or WebSockets) communicate with STOMP message brokers. It is dependency-free in the browser and published on npm as 'stompjs'.

## Use cases
- connect a browser app to a STOMP message broker over WebSocket
- send and receive STOMP messages from node.js over TCP
- subscribe to message queues from a web page
- build real-time messaging in a WebWorker
- talk to ActiveMQ or RabbitMQ STOMP endpoints from JavaScript

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free STOMP client for the browser
- your node.js app must speak STOMP over TCP or WebSocket
- you are maintaining a legacy codebase already using stompjs

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library with bug fixes and enhancements
- you need STOMP 1.2 features or modern tooling
- you are starting a new project - consider maintained forks like @stomp/stompjs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: websocket, message-queue, http-client
- domain: web-development, backend
