## Programming with Big Data – Interface to ZeroMQ

### Description

ZeroMQ is a well-known library for high-performance asynchronous messaging in scalable, distributed applications. This package provides high level R wrapper functions to easily utilize ZeroMQ. We mainly focus on interactive client/server programming frameworks. For convenience, a minimal ZeroMQ library (4.1.0 rc1) is shipped with pbdZMQ, which can be used if no system installation of ZeroMQ is available. A few wrapper functions compatible with rzmq are also provided.
