ZeroMQ
An open-source universal messaging library
ZeroMQ is a high-performance, open-source asynchronous messaging library that functions as a concurrency framework. It provides brokerless message queuing with support for multiple transport protocols (TCP, IPC, in-process, multicast, WebSocket) and messaging patterns such as pub/sub, request/reply, and fan-out. It offers bindings for dozens of programming languages and is used in production by companies like Microsoft, Spotify, and Facebook.
ZeroMQ provides socket abstractions that carry atomic messages over various transports without a dedicated message broker, enabling scalable asynchronous I/O patterns across many languages.
