Adobe will be open sourcing its AMF (Action Message Format) format and remoting technologies that will bring functionality for developers to hook push-based technologies to their PHP, .NET or other back ends.
The move is being made to further the adoption and ease the development of Rich Internet Applications. Most companies are developing their own proprietary formats since XML is not suited for streaming of data over HTTP.

"We've seen more and more of our customers who are using Flex technologies are building more sophisticated applications," said Phil Costa, Adobe director of product management for Flex and ColdFusion. "To support the growth of that developer community, we're releasing these low-level technologies as an open-source project so a larger community of developers can get access to them."
The initiative has been christened as BlazeDS.
