What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Go binding (wrapper via cgo) for the native ZeroMQ version 4 messaging library. It exposes ZeroMQ sockets and patterns such as pubsub, pipeline, and request-reply to Go programs.

Use cases

  • build pubsub messaging in Go
  • implement request-reply communication between services
  • connect Go programs to ZeroMQ-based distributed systems
  • create fanout or pipeline message flows
  • use CURVE-secured ZeroMQ sockets from Go

When to choose

  • you need ZeroMQ v4 messaging in Go and can install libzmq with cgo enabled
  • you want mature bindings with examples from the ZeroMQ Guide
  • you need CURVE security or draft API support

When to avoid

  • you need pure Go without C dependencies or want cross-compilation
  • you want a pure-Go ZeroMQ implementation (consider go-zeromq/zmq4)
  • you need ZeroMQ version 2 or 3 instead
