About:
Zurl is a non-blocking HTTP and WebSocket client worker that communicates via ZeroMQ. It allows applications to perform asynchronous web requests without managing complex network connections directly. This simplifies building high-performance network services that need to interact with external APIs or websockets.

Key Features:

Asynchronous non-blocking I/O
ZeroMQ interface for easy integration
Supports both HTTP and WebSocket protocols
Written in C++ for high performance

Use Cases:

Building scalable microservices that require external API calls
Integrating real-time WebSocket data into backend systems
Offloading network requests from main application threads

Alternatives:

libcurl – Libcurl is a widely used library but requires direct C/C++ integration, whereas Zurl runs as a separate worker process.
curl – The standard command-line tool is for ad-hoc requests, while Zurl is designed for persistent, high-concurrency background processing.
