-## Definitions
+## Definitions
-### Server
+### Server
A server MAY be a message broker that is capable of sending and/or receiving between a [sender](#definitionsSender) and [receiver](#definitionsReceiver). A server MAY be a service with WebSocket API that enables message-driven communication between browser-to-server or server-to-server.
-### Application
+### Application
An application is any kind of computer program or a group of them. It MUST be a [sender](#definitionsSender), a [receiver](#definitionsReceiver), or both. An application MAY be a microservice, IoT device (sensor), mainframe process, message broker, etc. An application MAY be written in any number of different programming languages as long as they support the selected [protocol](#definitionsProtocol). An application MUST also use a protocol supported by the [server](#definitionsServer) in order to connect and exchange [messages](#definitionsMessage).
-### Sender
+### Sender
A sender is a type of application, that is sending [messages](#definitionsMessage) to [channels](#definitionsChannel). A sender MAY send to multiple channels depending on the [server](#definitionsServer), protocol, and use-case pattern.
-### Receiver
+### Receiver
A receiver is a type of application that is receiving [messages](#definitionsMessage) from [channels](#definitionsChannel). A receiver MAY receive from multiple channels depending on the [server](#definitionsServer), protocol, and the use-case pattern. A receiver MAY forward a received message further without changing it. A receiver MAY act as a consumer and react to the message. A receiver MAY act as a processor that, for example, aggregates multiple messages in one and forwards them.
-### Message
+### Message
A message is the mechanism by which information is exchanged via a channel between [servers](#definitionsServer) and applications. A message MAY contain a payload and MAY also contain headers. The headers MAY be subdivided into [protocol](#definitionsProtocol)-defined headers and header properties defined by the application which can act as supporting metadata. The payload contains the data, defined by the application, which MUST be serialized into a format (JSON, XML, Avro, binary, etc.). Since a message is a generic mechanism, it can support multiple interaction patterns such as event, command, request, or response.
-### Channel
+### Channel
A channel is an addressable component, made available by the [server](#definitionsServer), for the organization of [messages](#definitionsMessage). [Sender](#definitionsSender) applications send messages to channels and [receiver](#definitionsReceiver) applications receive messages from channels. [Servers](#definitionsServer) MAY support many channel instances, allowing messages with different content to be addressed to different channels. Depending on the [server](#definitionsServer) implementation, the channel MAY be included in the message via protocol-defined headers.
-### Protocol
+### Protocol
A protocol is the mechanism (wireline protocol or API) by which [messages](#definitionsMessage) are exchanged between the application and the [channel](#definitionsChannel). Example protocols include, but are not limited to, AMQP, HTTP, JMS, Kafka, Anypoint MQ, MQTT, Solace, STOMP, Mercure, WebSocket, Google Pub/Sub, Pulsar.
-### Bindings
+### Bindings
A "binding" (or "protocol binding") is a mechanism to define protocol-specific information. Therefore, a protocol binding MUST define protocol-specific information only.
