I'm not familiar with it; it looks like a recent addition. I don't have spare time at the moment, but I would be happy to review a pull request if you are interested in comparing to colfer. > > I used the same strategy than colfer for my WIP binary I/O library: > https://github.com/go-hep/brio > (except that, as you, the schema is in Go, not some external DSL like > protobuf) > > being able to transfer on the wire, store and load types' schemas is > really great. > Nice. I agree.

That is what the zebrapack/zebra (https://github.com/glycerine/ zebrapack/blob/master/zebra/zebra.go) package does. Each generated _gen.go file contains the msgpack2 and json representation of the schema used. Schemas look like this example https://github.com/glycerine/ zebrapack/blob/master/testdata/my.z.json -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
