cppzmq

brew install cppzmq v4.11.0 MIT

Header-only C++ binding for ZeroMQ (libzmq) messaging library.

Why you might care

Use cppzmq to add ZeroMQ messaging capabilities to C++ projects with idiomatic C++ syntax; it wraps libzmq's C API without runtime overhead since it's header-only. Essential if you're building distributed systems, microservices, or pub/sub architectures that need fast, language-agnostic message passing.
