gnet

English | 🇨🇳中文

📖 Introduction

gnet is an event-driven networking framework that is fast and lightweight. It makes direct epoll and kqueue syscalls rather than using the standard Go net package and works in a similar manner as netty and libuv, which makes gnet achieve a much higher performance than Go net.

gnet is not designed to displace the standard Go net package, but to create a networking server framework for Go that performs on par with Redis and Haproxy for networking packets handling.

gnet sells itself as a high-performance, lightweight, non-blocking, event-driven networking framework written in pure Go which works on transport layer with TCP/UDP protocols and Unix Domain Socket , so it allows developers to implement their own protocols(HTTP, RPC, WebSocket, Redis, etc.) of application layer upon gnet for building diversified network applications, for instance, you get an HTTP Server or Web Framework if you implement HTTP protocol upon gnet while you have a Redis Server done with the implementation of Redis protocol upon gnet and so on.

gnet derives from the project: evio while having a much higher performance and more features.

🚀 Features

  • High-performance event-loop under networking model of multiple threads/goroutines
  • Built-in goroutine pool powered by the library ants
  • Built-in memory pool with bytes powered by the library bytebufferpool
  • Lock-free during the entire life cycle
  • Concise APIs
  • Efficient memory usage: Ring-Buffer
  • Supporting multiple protocols/IPC mechanism: TCP, UDP and Unix Domain Socket
  • Supporting multiple load-balancing algorithms: Round-Robin, Source Addr Hash and Least-Connections
  • Supporting two event-driven mechanisms: epoll on Linux and kqueue on FreeBSD/DragonFly/Darwin
  • Supporting asynchronous write operation
  • Flexible ticker event
  • SO_REUSEPORT socket option
  • Built-in multiple codecs to encode/decode network frames into/from TCP stream: LineBasedFrameCodec, DelimiterBasedFrameCodec, FixedLengthFrameCodec and LengthFieldBasedFrameCodec, referencing netty codec, also supporting customized codecs
  • Supporting Windows platform with event-driven mechanism of IOCP Go stdlib: net
  • Implementation of gnet Client
