nng VS zmqpp

I just published the other day some bindings to the NNG message passing library (https://nng.nanomsg.org/). You can do request/reply, publish/subcribe and other communication patterns. It's trivial to serialize (with Binary for example) any data structure and pass it around the network:

I put together quickly a binding to the NNG! library, it's simply a fork of the existing binding to Nanomsg! updated to work with NNG using the "compatible API". For basic usage seems to work pretty well:

I’m considering using msgpack + nng or msgpack + zmq

I've found NNG to be high quality, also has less restrictive license. https://nng.nanomsg.org/

for communication between a Discord bot and other applications on the same machine I have used ZeroMQ - relatively easy to use, very portable but still flexible enough. (I've heard though that ZeroMQ has been somewhat superseded by nng nowadays)

I agree with this, but would add NNg as a good messaging library. It’s the successor to the spiritual successor of ZeroMQ.

you can also look into https://github.com/nanomsg/nng

Hi! Im very new to C++ but i have experience with Java and C#. Im trying to use zmqpp in my project but im having a really hard time trying to build it (in windows). Can somebody point me in the right direction? I dont even know what im supposed to do. I obviously tried with following the instructions in the readme of the github repo that has this instructions:

If you're using zmq, I recommend using the zmqpp library. It has higher level bindings which are somewhat easy to use and which hide the lower level networking issues.
