Definition

As stated in the entry “Publish/Subscribe over Streams,” publish/subscribe (pub/sub) is a many-to-many communication model that directs the flow of messages from senders to receivers based on receivers’ data interests. In this model, publishers (i.e., senders) generate messages without knowing their receivers; subscribers (who are potential receivers) express their data interests, and are subsequently notified of the messages from a variety of publishers that match their interests.

XML publish/subscribe is a publish/subscribe model in which messages are encoded in XML and subscriptions are written in an XML query language such as a subset of XQuery 1.0. (In the context of XML pub/sub, “messages” and “documents” are often used exchangeably).

In XML-based pub/sub systems, the message brokers that serve as central exchange points between publishers and subscribers are called XML message brokers.
