Editing Jakarta Messaging (section)

== General idea of messaging ==
{{See also|Message-oriented middleware|Message passing}}

Messaging is a form of ''[[Loosely coupled#In computing|loosely coupled]]'' distributed communication, where in this context the term 'communication' can be understood as an exchange of messages between software components. Message-oriented technologies attempt to relax ''tightly coupled'' communication (such as [[Transmission Control Protocol|TCP]] network [[Stream socket|sockets]], [[Common Object Request Broker Architecture|CORBA]] or [[Java remote method invocation|RMI]]) by the introduction of an intermediary component. This approach allows software components to communicate with each other indirectly. Benefits of this include message senders not needing to have precise knowledge of their receivers.

The advantages of messaging include the ability to integrate heterogeneous platforms, reduce system bottlenecks, increase scalability, and respond more quickly to change.<ref>Richards et al., pages 3–5.</ref>
