# What is amq-protocol.

amq-protocol is an AMQP 0.9.1 serialization library for Ruby. It is not an
AMQP client: amq-protocol only handles serialization and deserialization.

If you want to write your own AMQP client, this gem will handle all the serialization
needs for you, including RabbitMQ extensions to AMQP 0.9.1.


## Supported Ruby Versions

amq-protocol `1.9.2` was the last version to support Ruby 1.8 and 1.9.

amq-protocol `2.0.0` and later will only support Ruby 2.0+.


## Installation

    gem install amq-protocol


## Development

Make sure you have Python, pip and the mako templating package installed:

    pip install mako

amq-protocol uses RabbitMQ protocol code generation library that is in Python, so there is some
Python involved in the build.

To regenerate `lib/amq/protocol/client.rb` from the source (`codegen/*` files), run

    ./generate.rb

To make changes, **do not edit client.rb directly**. Instead, edit the `codegen/protocol.rb.pytemplate` and regenerate.

To run tests, use

    bundle install --binstubs
    ./bin/rspec -c spec spec
