News

5 April 2014: James McKaskill, the author of go-capnproto (https://github.com/jmckaskill/go-capnproto), has been super busy of late, so I agreed to take over as maintainer. This branch (https://github.com/glycerine/go-capnproto) includes my recent work to fix bugs in the creation (originating) of structs for Go, and an implementation of the packing/unpacking capnp specification. Thanks to Albert Strasheim (https://github.com/alberts/go-capnproto) of CloudFlare for a great set of packing tests. - Jason

Getting started

$ make # will install capnpc-go and compile the test schema aircraftlib/aircraft.capnp, which is used in the tests.
$ diff ./capnpc-go/capnpc-go `which capnpc-go` # you should verify that you are using the capnpc-go binary you just built. There should be no diff. Adjust your PATH if necessary to include the binary capnpc-go that you just built/installed from ./capnpc-go/capnpc-go.
$ go test -v  # confirm all tests are green

What is Cap'n Proto?

The best cerealization...

Note, go-capnproto doesn't support the RPC layer of capnp, which is a more recent work-in-progress than the serialization. Personally I use capnp (for schema based serialization) with nanomsg (for network transport). Here is a toy example of using them together: https://github.com/glycerine/gozbus
