One strict JSON message envelope that Laravel, Symfony, Go, Python, Java, .NET and Node.js all speak — over the broker you already run.
Frameworks like Laravel serialize queued jobs with PHP's serialize() — a PHP-only
object graph. The moment a Go, Python or Java service needs to consume that job, it
can't read it. The usual escapes — adopt Kafka/gRPC, or hand-roll bridge services —
are heavy and invasive.
Don't change your broker. Change only the serialization.
BabelQueue replaces serialize() with a frozen, language-neutral JSON envelope
and routes by a URN instead of a class name — so a job produced in one language
is consumed natively in another, with a built-in trace_id for end-to-end tracing.
No sidecar, no proxy, no broker plugin.

... # AI/ML, data processing, anything- 🧩 Agnostic serialization — a strict JSON envelope, no
serialize()lock-in. - 🔖 URN routing — identity (
urn:babel:<context>:<event>) decoupled from class names. - 🔭 Built-in
trace_id— follow one message across every service and language. - 🔌 Broker-agnostic — Redis, RabbitMQ, Amazon SQS, Azure Service Bus, Apache Pulsar, Apache Kafka & ActiveMQ/Artemis — swap by a config line.
- 🪶 Drop-in & lightweight — reuse your framework's worker; zero heavy dependencies.
Each language ships a framework-agnostic core plus thin framework adapters, so the wire format stays identical everywhere.

Brokers — every SDK speaks the same envelope over each: Redis · RabbitMQ · Amazon SQS · Azure Service Bus · Apache Pulsar · Apache Kafka · ActiveMQ/Artemis. Each is locked by the cross-SDK conformance suite and proven by a live cross-language interop demo. (PHP × Azure Service Bus is the one documented deferral — every other (language × broker) cell ships.)

Status: BabelQueue is GA (1.x) — every SDK is published with a SemVer-stable public API (breaking changes require a MAJOR, per the deprecation policy), and each produces and consumes the envelope across the seven brokers above. The wire contract is frozen at
schema_version: 1.
