Overview ¶
Package encoding defines the interface for the compressor and codec, and functions to register and retrieve compressors and codecs.
Experimental ¶
Notice: This package is EXPERIMENTAL and may be changed or removed in a later release.
Index ¶
Constants ¶
const Identity = "identity"
Identity specifies the optional encoding for uncompressed streams. It is intended for grpc internal use only.
Variables ¶

Functions ¶
func RegisterCodec ¶ added in v1.10.0
func RegisterCodec(codec Codec)
RegisterCodec registers the provided Codec for use with all gRPC clients and servers.
The Codec will be stored and looked up by result of its Name() method, which should match the content-subtype of the encoding handled by the Codec. This is case-insensitive, and is stored and looked up as lowercase. If the result of calling Name() is an empty string, RegisterCodec will panic. See Content-Type on https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/PROTOCOL-HTTP2.md#requests for more details.
NOTE: this function must only be called during initialization time (i.e. in an init() function), and is not thread-safe. If multiple Codecs are registered with the same name, the one registered last will take effect.
func RegisterCodecV2 ¶ added in v1.66.0
func RegisterCodecV2(codec CodecV2)
RegisterCodecV2 registers the provided CodecV2 for use with all gRPC clients and servers.
The CodecV2 will be stored and looked up by result of its Name() method, which should match the content-subtype of the encoding handled by the CodecV2. This is case-insensitive, and is stored and looked up as lowercase. If the result of calling Name() is an empty string, RegisterCodecV2 will panic. See Content-Type on https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/PROTOCOL-HTTP2.md#requests for more details.
If both a Codec and CodecV2 are registered with the same name, the CodecV2 will be used.
NOTE: this function must only be called during initialization time (i.e. in an init() function), and is not thread-safe. If multiple Codecs are registered with the same name, the one registered last will take effect.
func RegisterCompressor ¶
func RegisterCompressor(c Compressor)
RegisterCompressor registers the compressor with gRPC by its name. It can be activated when sending an RPC via grpc.UseCompressor(). It will be automatically accessed when receiving a message based on the content coding header. Servers also use it to send a response with the same encoding as the request.
NOTE: this function must only be called during initialization time (i.e. in an init() function), and is not thread-safe. If multiple Compressors are registered with the same name, the one registered last will take effect.
Types ¶
type Codec ¶ added in v1.10.0
type Codec interface { // Marshal returns the wire format of v. Marshal(v any) ([]byte, error) // Unmarshal parses the wire format into v. Unmarshal(data []byte, v any) error // Name returns the name of the Codec implementation. The returned string // will be used as part of content type in transmission. The result must be // static; the result cannot change between calls. Name() string }
Codec defines the interface gRPC uses to encode and decode messages. Note that implementations of this interface must be thread safe; a Codec's methods can be called from concurrent goroutines.
type CodecV2 ¶ added in v1.66.0
type CodecV2 interface { // Marshal returns the wire format of v. The buffers in the returned // [mem.BufferSlice] must have at least one reference each, which will be freed // by gRPC when they are no longer needed. Marshal(v any) (out mem.BufferSlice, err error) // Unmarshal parses the wire format into v. Note that data will be freed as soon // as this function returns. If the codec wishes to guarantee access to the data // after this function, it must take its own reference that it frees when it is // no longer needed. Unmarshal(data mem.BufferSlice, v any) error // Name returns the name of the Codec implementation. The returned string // will be used as part of content type in transmission. The result must be // static; the result cannot change between calls. Name() string }
CodecV2 defines the interface gRPC uses to encode and decode messages. Note that implementations of this interface must be thread safe; a CodecV2's methods can be called from concurrent goroutines.
func GetCodecV2 ¶ added in v1.66.0
GetCodecV2 gets a registered CodecV2 by content-subtype, or nil if no CodecV2 is registered for the content-subtype.
The content-subtype is expected to be lowercase.
type Compressor ¶
type Compressor interface { // Compress writes the data written to wc to w after compressing it. If an // error occurs while initializing the compressor, that error is returned // instead. Compress(w io.Writer) (io.WriteCloser, error) // Decompress reads data from r, decompresses it, and provides the // uncompressed data via the returned io.Reader. If an error occurs while // initializing the decompressor, that error is returned instead. Decompress(r io.Reader) (io.Reader, error) // Name is the name of the compression codec and is used to set the content // coding header. The result must be static; the result cannot change // between calls. Name() string }
Compressor is used for compressing and decompressing when sending or receiving messages.
If a Compressor implements `DecompressedSize(compressedBytes []byte) int`, gRPC will invoke it to determine the size of the buffer allocated for the result of decompression. A return value of -1 indicates unknown size.
func GetCompressor ¶
func GetCompressor(name string) Compressor
GetCompressor returns Compressor for the given compressor name.
