3.3. Getting Started with C++

The open source Apache Qpid broker, on which Red Hat Enterprise Messaging is based, is available as a Java and as C++ broker. It is the C++ broker that is used to build Red Hat Enterprise Messaging.

There are some small differences between the Python and C++ APIs. Because the broker itself is written in C++, in those few areas where the C++ API differs from the Python API it is the general rule that the C++ API is the more fully-featured, and more extensively explored by users.
