cppzmq is a C++ binding for libzmq. It has the following design goals:
|
|
|
|
* cppzmq maps the libzmq C API to C++ concepts. In particular:
|
|
- it is type-safe (the libzmq C API exposes various class-like
|
|
concepts as void*)
|
|
- it provides exception-based error handling (the libzmq C API
|
|
provides errno-based error handling)
|
|
- it provides RAII-style classes that automate resource management
|
|
(the libzmq C API requires the user to take care to free resources
|
|
explicitly)
|
|
* cppzmq is a light-weight, header-only binding. You only need to
|
|
include the header file zmq.hpp (and maybe zmq_addon.hpp) to use it.
|
|
* zmq.hpp is meant to contain direct mappings of the abstractions
|
|
provided by the libzmq C API, while zmq_addon.hpp provides additional
|
|
higher-level abstractions.
