MT4 server - zeromq api

I'm just gonna put this out there... Is anyone is interested in helping me develop an EA to turn MT4 into a generic (JSON) api server over zeromq?

In short, this project would develop a generic JSON interface and api schema in order to be able to develop algos in any (zmq supported) programming language to be used with MT4.

As an example:

external program sends request:
Inserted Code
{
  "request": {
    "open-positions": {
      "symbols":["EURUSD","EURGBP"],
      "magics":[127368]
    }
  }
}

and MT4 zmq api sends response

Inserted Code
{
  "response": {
    "open-positions": [
      {
        "symbol": "EURUSD",
        "size": 0.01,
         ...
      }
    ]
  }
}

Hi Nicholishen,
Could you please explain more about this ? i think i need some thing like this, but using database too.
But in my case, i just use MT4 client (at my local PC), not MT4 server ...

===
i need candles data stored in database, i think this is very important ... this can avoid big load and security\ hole on MT4 (if any) ...
this database can also solve the problem of max 64 buffers available on MT4 too, and it can be faster ... if we can do the calculation in other programming language outside MT4 , like C / Python / R or others ...

*) MT4 send candles data to ZMQ (M1 to MN1), and ZMQ send back reply to MT4 that it has got the data
*) ZMQ send the candles data to Python / R ... then Python/R send back message reply to ZMQ (or may be Python / R send request to ZMQ, and ZMQ reply by sending them the candles data ???) .... after that Python/R will save the candle information to database ...
*) Python / R working further on the database as usual (may be also using other programming language for this purposes)
*) If it got some problem, it will send information to ZMQ about this error and later ZMQ will reported it to MT4 ...
or just show it on other platform ... ??

i know this will take some time for developing, but i think this will be good for the future ..
Does it sound logical enough & make-able ? or may be i have misunderstood about the purpose of ZMQ ?

Any idea, clues or other information is very appreciated.
