Go RabbitMQ Client Library
This is a Go AMQP 0.9.1 client maintained by the RabbitMQ core team. It was originally developed by Sean Treadway.
Differences from streadway/amqp
Some things are different compared to the original client, others haven't changed.
Package Name
This library uses a different package name. If moving from streadway/amqp
,
using an alias may reduce the number of changes needed:
amqp "github.com/rabbitmq/amqp091-go"
License
This client uses the same 2-clause BSD license as the original project.
Public API Evolution
This client retains key API elements as practically possible. It is, however, open to reasonable breaking public API changes suggested by the community. We don't have the "no breaking public API changes ever" rule and fully recognize that a good client API evolves over time.
Project Maturity
This project is based on a mature Go client that's been around for over a decade.
Supported Go Versions
This client supports two most recent Go release series.
Supported RabbitMQ Versions
This project supports RabbitMQ versions starting with 2.0
but primarily tested
against currently supported RabbitMQ release series.
Some features and behaviours may be server version-specific.
Goals
Provide a functional interface that closely represents the AMQP 0.9.1 model targeted to RabbitMQ as a server. This includes the minimum necessary to interact the semantics of the protocol.
Non-goals
Things not intended to be supported.
- Auto reconnect and re-synchronization of client and server topologies.
- Reconnection would require understanding the error paths when the topology cannot be declared on reconnect. This would require a new set of types and code paths that are best suited at the call-site of this package. AMQP has a dynamic topology that needs all peers to agree. If this doesn't happen, the behavior is undefined. Instead of producing a possible interface with undefined behavior, this package is designed to be simple for the caller to implement the necessary connection-time topology declaration so that reconnection is trivial and encapsulated in the caller's application code.
- AMQP Protocol negotiation for forward or backward compatibility.
- 0.9.1 is stable and widely deployed. AMQP 1.0 is a divergent specification (a different protocol) and belongs to a different library.
- Anything other than PLAIN and EXTERNAL authentication mechanisms.
- Keeping the mechanisms interface modular makes it possible to extend outside of this package. If other mechanisms prove to be popular, then we would accept patches to include them in this package.
- Support for
basic.return
andbasic.ack
frame ordering. This client uses Go channels for certain protocol events and ordering between events sent to two different channels generally cannot be guaranteed.
Usage
See the _examples subdirectory for simple producers and consumers executables. If you have a use-case in mind which isn't well-represented by the examples, please file an issue.
