AppNet RPC (aRPC)

AppNet RPC (arpc) is a minimal, fast, and pluggable Remote Procedure Call framework built on top of UDP, with support for customizable serialization formats.

Installation

Make sure you have protoc installed.

Then install the Go protobuf compiler and aRPC plugin:

go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest
go install ./cmd/protoc-gen-aprc  # From this repo

Ensure your $PATH includes $GOPATH/bin or $HOME/go/bin so protoc can find the plugins.

Example

See examples/README.md
