Support for AMQP 1.0?

[noodlefrenzy]

Is there any support for AMQP 1.0 in the works?

I'm a developer at MSFT, not on the Azure team, and we were trying to read from EventHub so need AMQP 1.0. I'd be willing to help develop this support, but I want to make sure I'm not contending with someone else who might already be doing the work. Please let me know if you're actively working on it, and if so, what I can do to help.

Thanks!

AMQP 1.0 is a completely different protocol. See #94, #63.

Hi @noodlefrenzy, I'm not working on or planning to work on adding AMQP 1.0 to this library -- I'd have to start from scratch, since everything from the codec upwards is different to AMQP 0.9.1. It may as well be another library.

You may have more luck making a Node.JS binding to proton http://qpid.apache.org/proton/.

Oh here we go, someone has at least started that: https://github.com/pofallon/node-qpid

Yeah, I've been looking at node-qpid and it's based on proton 0.3. I've started the work to port it to the latest proton and get it building on Windows, but also figured I'd investigate more platform-agnostic (i.e. non-native-code) solutions.

I realized 1.0 was an entirely different protocol than 0.9.1, but was just wondering if anyone had started the work of supporting it, since it seems like the standard going forward, for good or ill. Also, sorry I didn't see #63 - I looked, but missed that one :(

Thanks. Feel free to close.

Good stuff. I think that's ultimately going to be the better solution, because AMQP 1.0 is complicated enough that it's worth having as few from-scratch implementations as possible. (The same is arguably true of AMQP 0.9.1 too)

By the way @noodlefrenzy, if you get it working to your satisfaction, let me know and I'll link to it from the README here.

@squaremo if you're willing I think the project is ready for addition to the README
