go-capnproto
Go bindings for Cap'n Proto serialization format (version 1.0 without RPC support).
What is go-capnproto?
go-capnproto is a Go language binding library for the Cap'n Proto serialization protocol, which provides efficient binary data interchange between systems. It solves the problem of fast, schema-based data serialization and deserialization in Go applications, particularly for network communication scenarios. This version (1.0) provides core serialization functionality without RPC support.
Go developers who need efficient binary serialization for network communication, data persistence, or inter-process communication, particularly those already using or considering Cap'n Proto as their serialization format.
Developers choose go-capnproto for its mature, stable implementation of Cap'n Proto serialization in Go, with proven integration with network transport libraries like mangos. It offers schema generation tools that automate the creation of Cap'n Proto schemas from existing Go structs, reducing manual work.
Overview
Cap'n Proto library and parser for go. This is go-capnproto-1.0, and does not have rpc. See https://github.com/zombiezen/go-capnproto2 for 2.0 which has rpc and capabilities.
