lzmq
A Lua binding library for ZeroMQ, providing both C and FFI implementations for high-performance messaging.
What is lzmq?
lzmq is a Lua binding library for ZeroMQ, a high-performance asynchronous messaging library. It allows Lua developers to integrate ZeroMQ's messaging patterns (like pub/sub, request/reply) into their applications, enabling building of scalable distributed systems. The library provides both C and FFI implementations, offering flexibility and performance optimizations.
Lua developers and engineers building distributed systems, networked applications, or requiring high-performance inter-process communication within Lua environments.
Developers choose lzmq for its dual C/FFI implementation, which allows performance tuning and compatibility with LuaJIT, along with comprehensive ZeroMQ feature support and clear documentation with examples from the ZeroMQ Guide.
