the argument can be given in this forms:

• key-value pairs like key1=val1 key2=val2 yield a JSON-object {"key1": "val1", "key2": "val2"}. if a value can be parsed as a float, it will be encoded as a JSON-number.

• a string starting with a '{' yields a JSON-object. example:

  '{"key": "value"}'

• a list of strings yields a JSON-array of strings

dependencies:

• a golang compiler
• libzmq-dev (something that satisfies pkg-config --libs libzmq)
