Cap'n Proto bindings for Go

Cap’n Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format similar to Protocol Buffers, but much faster.

It also includes a sophisticated RPC system based on Object Capabilities, ideal for secure, low-latency applications.

This package provides:

• Go code-generation for Cap'n Proto
• Runtime support for the Go language
• Level 1 support for the Cap'n Proto RPC protocol

Support for Level 3 RPC is planned.

API Compatibility

Until the official Cap'n Proto spec is finalized, this repository should be considered <u>beta software</u>.

We use semantic versioning to track compatibility and signal breaking changes. In the spirit of the Go 1 compatibility guarantee, we will make every effort to avoid making breaking API changes within major version numbers, but nevertheless reserve the right to introduce breaking changes for reasons related to:

• Security.
• Changes in the Cap'n Proto specification.
• Bugs.

An exception to this rule is currently in place for the pogs package, which is relatively new and may change over time. However, its functionality has been well-tested, and breaking changes are relatively unlikely.

Note also we may merge breaking changes to the main branch without notice. Users are encouraged to pin their dependencies to a major version, e.g. using the semver-aware features of go get.
