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.
