This library provides easy-to-use iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS
Swift bindings for the ZeroMQ C++
library. It is written in Swift 3 and features a bundled stable
libzmq
library. It provides ZeroMQ's
low-level API along with an object-oriented API.
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.
- iOS 9+ / macOS 10.11+ / tvOS 9.0+ / watchOS 2.0+
- Xcode 8.1 and Swift 3.0
- Bitcode-enabled Xcode project for non-MacOS
Please consult the Documentation Manual for more information. Older examples can also be found in the examples github repository.
