Java Messaging Service (JMS)

Java Messaging Service (JMS) is a Java-based technology that enables applications to send, receive, and manage messages asynchronously across distributed systems. It acts like a postal system for software, allowing different parts of an application or different applications to communicate reliably without needing to be directly connected at the same time. JMS ensures messages are delivered even if the receiver isn't immediately available, providing flexible, decoupled, and scalable communication. It’s commonly used in enterprise environments for tasks like order processing, notifications, and data exchange, enhancing system independence and robustness.
