Some examples: - - type BisSet []int - type BitSet64 uint64 - type UUID string - type MyStructWithUnexportedFields struct { a int; b bool; c []int; } - type GifImage struct { ... } - -As an illustration, MyStructWithUnexportedFields would normally be -encoded as an empty map because it has no exported fields, while UUID -would be encoded as a string. However, with extension support, you can -encode any of these however you like. - -## RPC - -RPC Client and Server Codecs are implemented, so the codecs can be used -with the standard net/rpc package. - -## Usage - -Typical usage model: - - // create and configure Handle - var ( - bh codec.BincHandle - mh codec.MsgpackHandle - ch codec.CborHandle - ) - - mh.MapType = reflect.TypeOf(map[string]interface{}(nil)) - - // configure extensions - // e.g. for msgpack, define functions and enable Time support for tag 1 - // mh.SetExt(reflect.TypeOf(time.Time{}), 1, myExt) - - // create and use decoder/encoder - var ( - r io.Reader - w io.Writer - b []byte - h = &bh // or mh to use msgpack - ) - - dec = codec.NewDecoder(r, h) - dec = codec.NewDecoderBytes(b, h) - err = dec.Decode(&v) - - enc = codec.NewEncoder(w, h) - enc = codec.NewEncoderBytes(&b, h) - err = enc.Encode(v) - - //RPC Server - go func() { - for { - conn, err := listener.Accept() - rpcCodec := codec.GoRpc.ServerCodec(conn, h) - //OR rpcCodec := codec.MsgpackSpecRpc.ServerCodec(conn, h) - rpc.ServeCodec(rpcCodec) - } - }() - - //RPC Communication (client side) - conn, err = net.Dial("tcp", "localhost:5555") - rpcCodec := codec.GoRpc.ClientCodec(conn, h) - //OR rpcCodec := codec.MsgpackSpecRpc.ClientCodec(conn, h) - client := rpc.NewClientWithCodec(rpcCodec) - |
