Elektra  0.8.18
Pub/Sub Communication

Issue

To develop a Web UI, we need to be able to remotely configure Elektra via a network socket.

The idea is to use a Pub/Sub concept to synchronize actions which describe changes in the Elektra state.

Constraints

Assumptions

Considered Alternatives

Decision

Use ZeroMQ with JSMQ.

Argument

nanomsg sounds interesting, but isn't as popular as ZeroMQ, which is why there are no browser JS bindings available (only Node.js, which cannot be easily used for the Web UI).
