Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol is a meta-messaging protocol that can be optimized for XML-based applications. This guide to BEEP shows what BEEP is for and, how to put it to use. After explaining concepts underlying the BEEP protocol, the author shows how to use the BEEP implementation in Java, C, and Tcl. You'll learn to build several working applications that use BEEP as a transport, including an implementation of the reliable SYSLOG protocol and an implementation of a BEEP transport for SOAP.
