“ZMQ (以下 ZeroMQ 简称 ZMQ)是一个简单好用的传输层，像框架一样的一个 socket library，他使得 Socket 编程更加简单、简洁和性能更高。是一个消息处理队列库，可在多个线程、内核和主机盒之间弹性伸缩。ZMQ 的明确目标是“成为标准网络协议栈的一部分，之后进入 Linux 内核”。现在还未看到它们的成功。但是，它无疑是极具前景的、并且是人们更加需要的“传统”BSD 套接字之上的一层封装。ZMQ 让编写高性能网络应用程序极为简单和有趣。”(ZeroMQ (also known as 0MQ, or zmq) looks like an embeddable networking library but acts like a concurrency framework. It gives you sockets that carry atomic messages across various transports like in-process, inter-process, TCP, and multicast. You can connect sockets N-to-N with patterns like fan-out, pub-sub, task distribution, and request-reply. It's fast enough to be the fabric for clustered products. Its asynchronous I/O model gives you scalable multicore applications, built as asynchronous message-processing tasks. It has a score of language APIs and runs on most operating systems. ZeroMQ is from iMatix and is LGPLv3 open source.)
