Overview

You shall instanciate this class with a connect string which follows the zeroMQ conventions: api.zeromq.org/2-1:zmq-connect After connecting you can call any method on this class and it will be sent to the server. If something goes wrong ZmqJsonRpc::ClientError is thrown. timeout is measured in milliseconds.

NOTE The client does not keep the connection alive. For each request, a new connection is esablished and torn down after the response. This could become a performance issue.
