ZeroMQ
Welcome
The ZeroMQ lightweight messaging kernel is a library which extends the standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by specialised messaging middleware products. ZeroMQ sockets provide an abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple messaging patterns, message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to multiple transport protocols and more.

For some platforms (Linux, Mac OS X), prebuilt binary packages are supplied by the ZeroMQ organization. For other platforms, you need to build your own binaries.
Installation of binary packages
Linux
For Linux users, pre-built binary packages are available for most distributions. Note that DRAFT APIs can change at any time without warning, pick a STABLE build to avoid having them enabled.
