Mirror of A C++ RPC library built upon FlatBuffers and ZeroMQ

A C++ RPC library built upon FlatBuffers and ZeroMQ (Fire's edition)

Why?

Because I needed an easy to use RPC library that was lightweight, simple, and didn't require building the world (shifty eyes at gRPC >_>).

What?

A pipe agnostic RPC library (anything that can transport ZeroMQ), using Flatbuffer reflection to generate RPC server stubs and clients.

But library xyz already exists?!

Sure, can I give it a raw socket and make it dance in < 10 minutes?

Documentation?

Coming, but for now please check out the example in the examples directory and the quickstart.md guide.

TODO:

• Implement server side timeouts.
• Stop client crashing when server goes away.
• Reconnect clients
• Tunables
• Test performance.
• [Allow the?] use [of] non Native Table flatbuffers.
• Allow calling RPC methods with arguments instead of the request table.
• Tests
• Documentation
