Topics
======

A `"Topic"` in Moksha is basically just a message queue.

By abstracting out the low-level messaging protocols and brokers, Moksha
applications can interact with `"topics"` without having to worry about the
underlying protocols that are involved.  For example, a `topic` could
potentially be represented by a a STOMP destination, or even an AMQP message
queue.  These messaging backends can be swapped out and configured without
having to alter the applications that care about those `topics`.

For details on how to interact with topics, see the documentation on `Consumers`, `DataStreams`, and the `MokshaHub`.
