Feature

• Use peer to provide the same API package for the server and client
• Provide multi-layout abstractions such as:
  • peer
  • session/socket
  • router
  • handle/context
  • message
  • protocol
  • codec
  • transfer filter
  • plugin
• Support reboot and shutdown gracefully
• HTTP-compatible message format:
  • Composed of two parts, the Header and the Body
  • Header contains metadata in the same format as HTTP header
  • Body supports for custom codec of Content Type-Like, already implemented:
    • Protobuf
    • Thrift
    • JSON
    • XML
    • Form
    • Plain
  • Support push, call-reply and more message types
• Support custom message protocol, and provide some common implementations:
  • rawproto - Default high performance binary protocol
  • jsonproto - JSON message protocol
  • pbproto - Ptotobuf message protocol
  • thriftproto - Thrift message protocol
  • httproto - HTTP message protocol
• Optimized high performance transport layer
  • Use Non-block socket and I/O multiplexing technology
  • Support setting the size of socket I/O buffer
  • Support setting the size of the reading message (if exceed disconnect it)
  • Support controling the connection file descriptor
• Support a variety of network types:
  • tcp
  • tcp4
  • tcp6
  • unix
  • unixpacket
  • kcp
  • quic
  • other
    • websocket
    • evio
• Provide a rich plug-in point, and already implemented:
  • auth
  • binder
  • heartbeat
  • ignorecase(service method)
  • overloader
  • proxy(for unknown service method)
  • secure
• Powerful and flexible logging system:
  • Detailed log information, support print input and output details

Usage

NOTE:

• It is best to set the packet size when reading: SetReadLimit
• The default packet size limit when reading is 1 GB

Optimize

• SetMessageSizeLimit sets max message size. If maxSize<=0, set it to max uint32.

  func SetMessageSizeLimit(maxMessageSize uint32)

• SetSocketKeepAlive sets whether the operating system should send keepalive messages on the connection.

  func SetSocketKeepAlive(keepalive bool)

• SetSocketKeepAlivePeriod sets period between keep alives.

  func SetSocketKeepAlivePeriod(d time.Duration)

• SetSocketNoDelay controls whether the operating system should delay message transmission in hopes of sending fewer messages (Nagle's algorithm). The default is true (no delay), meaning that data is sent as soon as possible after a Write.

  func SetSocketNoDelay(_noDelay bool)

• SetSocketReadBuffer sets the size of the operating system's receive buffer associated with the connection.

  func SetSocketReadBuffer(bytes int)

• SetSocketWriteBuffer sets the size of the operating system's transmit buffer associated with the connection.

  func SetSocketWriteBuffer(bytes int)
