AxonAxon is a message-oriented socket library for node.js heavily inspired by zeromq. For a light-weightUDP alternative you may be interested in punt.

Installation

$ npm install axon

Features- message oriented- automated reconnection- light-weight wire protocol- mixed-type arguments (strings, objects, buffers, etc)- unix domain socket support- fast (~800 mb/s ~500,000 messages/s)

Events

• close when server or connection is closed- error (err) when an un-handled socket error occurs- ignored error (err) when an axon-handled socket error occurs, but is ignored- socket error (err) emitted regardless of handling, for logging purposes- reconnect attempt when a reconnection attempt is made- connect when connected to the peer, or a peer connection is accepted- disconnect when an accepted peer disconnects- bind when the server is bound- drop (msg) when a message is dropped due to the HWM- flush (msgs) queued when messages are flushed on connection

• Patterns

• push / pull- pub / sub- req / rep- pub-emitter / sub-emitter

Mixed argument types

Backed by node-amp-messageyou may pass strings, objects, and buffers as arguments. jspush.send('image', { w: 100, h: 200 }, imageBuffer);pull.on('message', function(type, size, img){});

Push / Pull

PushSockets distribute messages round-robin:

sock.bind(3000);console.log('push server started');



setInterval(function(){sock.send('hello');
