    From the README

    Welcome to iceoryx2, the efficient, and ultra-low latency inter-process communication middleware. This library is designed to provide you with fast and reliable zero-copy and lock-free inter-process communication mechanisms.

    So if you want to communicate efficiently between multiple processes or applications iceoryx2 is for you. With iceoryx2, you can:

    iceoryx2 is based on a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and facilitates seamless inter-process communication (IPC).

    It is all about providing a seamless experience for inter-process communication, featuring versatile messaging patterns. Whether you're diving into publish-subscribe, events, request-response, or the promise of upcoming features like pipelines, and blackboard, iceoryx2 has you covered.

    One of the features of iceoryx2 is its consistently low transmission latency regardless of payload size, ensuring a predictable and reliable communication experience.

    iceoryx2's origins can be traced back to iceoryx. By overcoming past technical debts and refining the architecture, iceoryx2 enables the modularity we've always desired.

    In the near future, iceoryx2 is poised to support at least the same feature set and platforms as iceoryx, ensuring a seamless transition and offering enhanced capabilities for your inter-process communication needs. So, if you're looking for lightning-fast, cross-platform communication that doesn't compromise on performance or modularity, iceoryx2 is your answer.
