zmqpp Documentation

Introduction

zmqpp is a "high-level" C++ binding for 0mq/zmq. The "high-level" term is used in comparison to cppzmq which is somewhat a raw wrapper around the libzmq C interface.

The library is documented and has a nice test suite. This doesn't mean that the library is bug free or that the test suite is 100% complete.

The development takes places in this GitHub repository.

Features

Basic features:

• zmqpp provides most feature from libzmq in a C++ style API.
• It supports multiple version of libzmq.

Being built on top of libzmq, and being a higher-level binding, zmqpp provides some additional features:

• Reactor pattern.
• Actor pattern.
• Support for ZAP.

Examples

zmqpp comes a few examples. These can be found here.

• Message.
• And either a Poller or a Reactor.
