Involved Source Files 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. encoding_v2.go
Package-Level Type Names (total 3, all are exported)
/* sort exporteds by: | */
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. Marshal returns the wire format of v. 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. Unmarshal parses the wire format into v. func GetCodec(contentSubtype string) Codec func RegisterCodec(codec Codec) func google.golang.org/grpc.ForceCodec(codec Codec) grpc.CallOption func google.golang.org/grpc.ForceServerCodec(codec Codec) grpc.ServerOption
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. 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. 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. 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. func GetCodecV2(contentSubtype string) CodecV2 func RegisterCodecV2(codec CodecV2) func google.golang.org/grpc.ForceCodecV2(codec CodecV2) grpc.CallOption func google.golang.org/grpc.ForceServerCodecV2(codecV2 CodecV2) grpc.ServerOption
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. 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. 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. 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. func GetCompressor(name string) Compressor func RegisterCompressor(c Compressor)
Package-Level Functions (total 6, all are exported)
GetCodec gets a registered Codec by content-subtype, or nil if no Codec is registered for the content-subtype. The content-subtype is expected to be lowercase.
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.
GetCompressor returns Compressor for the given compressor name.
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.
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.
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.

Package-Level Constants (only one, which is exported)
Identity specifies the optional encoding for uncompressed streams. It is intended for grpc internal use only.
