Heck, I cannot agree with this. Both JSON and ZeroMQ is just low-level mess.
You might want to read this:

I also find it disturbing that you consider JSON to be appropriate on the Ada side. What about this:

http://www.inspirel.com/yami4/book/10-2.html
http://www.inspirel.com/yami4/book/10-4-1.html

YAMI4 allows you to write your next (!) distributed system without sacrificing the advantages of Ada. Integration with the Ada tasking model and type safety are features that you should be asking for.
