gnet
A high-performance, lightweight, non-blocking, event-driven networking framework written in pure Go.
What is gnet?
gnet is an event-driven networking framework built from scratch in Go, designed for ultra-fast performance and low memory consumption in high-demand scenarios. It operates on the transport layer (TCP/UDP/Unix Domain Socket) and enables developers to build custom application-layer protocols like HTTP, RPC, or WebSocket servers on top of it. It provides a high-performance alternative to Go's standard net package for specialized, performance-critical network services.
Go developers building performance-critical network services such as custom protocol servers, high-throughput TCP/UDP applications, or low-latency real-time systems. It is suited for those needing to optimize for high concurrency and low memory usage in production environments.
Developers choose gnet over alternatives for its ultra-fast performance and low memory consumption, achieved through an event-driven architecture with epoll/kqueue, a built-in goroutine pool, and lock-free runtime. It offers a concise API focused on core functionality, making it ideal for building specialized network services where Go's standard net package may not meet performance demands.
