= ZeroMQ Ruby Bindings

ZeroMQ http://www.zeromq.org/

ØMQ looks like an embeddable networking library but acts like a concurrency framework. It gives you sockets that carry whole messages across various transports like inproc, IPC, TCP, and multicast. You can connect sockets N-to-N with patterns like fanout, pubsub, task distribution, and request-reply.

== Example

require "zmq"

context = ZMQ::Context.new(1)

puts "Opening connection for READ" inbound = context.socket(ZMQ::UPSTREAM) inbound.bind("tcp://127.0.0.1:9000")

outbound = context.socket(ZMQ::DOWNSTREAM) outbound.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:9000") p outbound.send("Hello World!") p outbound.send("QUIT")

loop do data = inbound.recv p data break if data == "QUIT" end
