Is there an API in C++ for remote inter-process communication?

I'm looking for the equivalent of RMI API (in java) in C++ standards. The processes will be running in different machines.

C++ Standard can't help you in here. You can use DCOM or Corba (and there are more) depending on which OS you're using.

There are many C++ APIs for inter-process communication. But none of them are part of the C++ standard library.

I suggest using Boost.Interprocess.

But if you're talking across different machines, you need networking, not interprocess communication. That requires a networking library (also not standard); Boost.Asio is a reasonable networking library.
