ZMQ - ZeroMQ Swift bindings

This package provides Swift API bindings for the famous ZeroMQ library.

Note: At the moment, please consider the project experimental.

ZeroMQ (also spelled ØMQ, 0MQ or ZMQ) is a high-performance asynchronous messaging library, aimed at use in distributed or concurrent applications. It provides a message queue, but unlike message-oriented middleware, a ZeroMQ system can run without a dedicated message broker. The library's API is designed to resemble that of Berkeley sockets.

Project Goals

• Provide an easy to use API to ZeroMQ using Swift language idioms
• Provide up to date ZeroMQ binaries for iOS and the macOS plaforms
• Support linux and macOS plaforms for server-side projects
• Support iOS platform for mobile app projects

Example

import ZMQ

let (major, minor, patch) = ZMQ.version
print("ZeroMQ library version is \(major).\(minor).\(patch)")

More examples can be found in the examples github repository.
