JeroMQ

Pure Java implementation of libzmq (http://zeromq.org).

CircleCI Quality Gate Status Coverage Status Maven Central Javadocs

Features

  • Based on libzmq 4.1.7.
  • ZMTP/3.0 (http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:23).
  • tcp:// protocol and inproc:// is compatible with zeromq.
  • ipc:// protocol works only between jeromq (uses tcp://127.0.0.1:port internally).

  • Securities

  • Performance that's not too bad, compared to native libzmq.

  • Exactly same developer experience with zeromq and jzmq.

Unsupported

  • ipc:// protocol with zeromq. Java doesn't support UNIX domain socket.
  • pgm:// protocol. Cannot find a pgm Java implementation.
  • norm:// protocol. Cannot find a Java implementation.
  • tipc:// protocol. Cannot find a Java implementation.

  • GSSAPI mechanism is not yet implemented.

  • TCP KeepAlive Count, Idle, Interval cannot be set via Java but as OS level.

  • Interrupting threads is still unsupported: library is NOT Thread.interrupt safe.

Getting started

Simple example

Here is how you might implement a server that prints the messages it receives and responds to them with "Hello, world!":

import org.zeromq.SocketType;
import org.zeromq.ZMQ;
import org.zeromq.ZContext;

public class hwserver
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        try (ZContext context = new ZContext()) {
            // Socket to talk to clients
            ZMQ.Socket socket = context.createSocket(SocketType.REP);
            socket.bind("tcp://*:5555");

            while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
                // Block until a message is received
                byte[] reply = socket.recv(0);

                // Print the message
                System.out.println(
                    "Received: [" + new String(reply, ZMQ.CHARSET) + "]"
                );

                // Send a response
                String response = "Hello, world!";
                socket.send(response.getBytes(ZMQ.CHARSET), 0);
            }
        }
    }
}
