zmq.rs - native stack of ØMQ in Rust

zmq.rs is a native implementation of ØMQ in the Rust programming language. It is still in a very early stage of designing and development, so it is not supposed to be used seriously now.

If you are looking for the libzmq wrapper in Rust, it is rust-zmq.

Ownership and License

The contributors are listed in AUTHORS. This project uses the MPL v2 license, see LICENSE.

zmq.rs uses the C4.1 (Collective Code Construction Contract) process for contributions.

zmq.rs uses this style guide found on Rust wiki for code style.

To report an issue, use the zmq.rs issue tracker at github.com.

Usage

There are only very few interfaces implemented till now. Try this example as src/hello-zmq.rs:

extern crate zeromq;

fn main() {
    let ctx = zeromq::Context::new();

    let mut req = ctx.socket(zeromq::REQ);
    req.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:12347").unwrap();

    let mut rep = ctx.socket(zeromq::REP);
    rep.bind("tcp://127.0.0.1:12347").unwrap();

    let mut msg = box zeromq::Msg::new(4);
    msg.data.push_all([65u8, 66u8, 67u8, 68u8]);

    req.msg_send(msg).unwrap();
    println!("We got: {}", rep.msg_recv().unwrap());
}

We recommend using cargo to build this program. Create a file Cargo.toml with:

[package]

name = "hello-zmq"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["[email protected]"]

[[bin]]

name = "hello-zmq"

[dependencies.zeromq]

git = "https://github.com/zeromq/zmq.rs.git"

Then build and run with cargo, who will automatically download and build the dependencies for you:

$ cargo build
$ ./target/hello-zmq

Documentation

API document can be found here, and there are tons of useful documentation at zeromq.org.
