lua-zmq
Lua bindings for ZeroMQ 2.x, enabling high-performance message passing between distributed applications.
What is lua-zmq?
lua-zmq is a Lua binding library for ZeroMQ 2.x that enables Lua applications to use ZeroMQ's high-performance messaging capabilities. It provides Lua interfaces to ZeroMQ sockets and patterns for building distributed systems, allowing communication between threads, processes, and networked machines. The library solves the problem of implementing efficient inter-process communication in Lua-based applications.
Lua developers building distributed systems, networked applications, or requiring high-performance message passing between components. This includes developers working on game servers, real-time systems, or microservices architectures in Lua.
Developers choose lua-zmq because it provides native ZeroMQ performance to Lua applications with minimal overhead, supports multiple ZeroMQ versions, and offers optional thread support. Its benchmarks show throughput comparable to C++ implementations when used with LuaJIT.
