Protocol Multiplexing using multicodecs with libp2p
This examples shows how to use multicodecs (i.e. json) to encode and transmit information between LibP2P hosts using LibP2P Streams.
Multicodecs present a common interface, making it very easy to swap the codec implementation if needed.
This example expects that you area already familiar with the echo example.
Build
From go-libp2p base folder:
> make deps-protocol-muxing
> go build -o multicodecs ./examples/protocol-multiplexing-with-multicodecs
Usage
> ./multicodecs
Details
The example creates two LibP2P Hosts. Host1 opens a stream to Host2. Host2 has an StreamHandler to deal with the incoming stream. This is covered in the echo example.
Both hosts simulate a conversation. But rather than sending raw messages on the stream, each message in the conversation is encoded under a json object (using the json multicodec). For example:
{
"Msg": "This is the message",
"Index": 3,
"HangUp": false
}
The stream lasts until one of the sides closes it when the HangUp field is true.
