by Example

NATS message payloads are byte slices, so any kind of serialization strategy can be applied. This example shows a simple way to define message types using the Protocol Buffers IDL, generate code for the target language, and then use it with NATS.

If you are new to Protobuf, you can get started using one of the official tutorials.

The protobuf file for example looks as follows:

  syntax = "proto3";

  option go_package = ".;main";

  package main;

  message GreetRequest {
    string name = 1;
  }

  message GreetReply {
    string text = 1;
  }
