go-resp3

go-resp3 client is a Go implementation of the Redis RESP3 protocol. It is intended as a simple Go wrapper for Redis commands and is not going to support

• former Redis protocols (RESP3 only).
• Redis cluster protocol (allthough cluster commands are implemented) - please use Redis Cluster Proxy instead.

Installation

go get github.com/stfnmllr/go-resp3/client

Building

To build go-resp3 you need to have a working Go environment with version 1.14.x or higher installed.

Documentation

API documentation and documented examples can be found at https://godoc.org/github.com/stfnmllr/go-resp3/client.

Tests

To run the driver tests and benchmarks a running Redis server (version >= 6.0) is required. For the Redis connection localhost (127.0.0.1) and the default Redis port is used. The following environment variables can be set to use alternative host and port addresses:

• REDIS_HOST
• REDIS_PORT

Features

• Full RESP3 implementation supporting receiving attributes, streamed strings and streamed aggregate types.
• Standardized generated command interface.
• Asynchronous client with concurrent read / write supporting commands and out of band data within same connection.
• Redis pipeline support (please see pipelining for more information).
• Redis server-assisted client side caching.
• Support Redis RESP3 out of bound data: Pubsub, Monitor and key slot invalidations (cache).
• Extendable via custom connection and pipeline (please see example).
• Redis 6 TLS (SSL) support (please see example).

Commands

To simplify the command API some of the Redis commands got replaced by a set of commands:

Redis command	Replaced by API commands
Acl Log	AclLogCount, AclLogReset
Bitop	BitopAnd, BitopNot, BitopOr, BitopXor
Object	ObjectEncoding, ObjectFreq, ObjectHelp, ObjectIdletime, ObjectRefcount
Pubsub	PubsubChannels, PubsubNumpat, PubsubNumsub
Set	Set, SetEx, SetExNx, SetExXx, SetNx, SetPx, SetPxNx, SetPxXx, SetXx
Slowlog	SlowlogGet, SlowlogLen, SlowlogReset
Stralgo Lcs	StralgoLcsStrings, StralgoLcsLenStrings, StralgoLcsIdxStrings, StralgoLcsKeys, StralgoLcsLenKeys, StralgoLcsIdxKeys
Xgroup	XgroupCreate, XgroupSetid, XgroupDestroy, XgroupDelconsumer, XgroupHelp
Xinfo	XinfoConsumers, XinfoGroups, XinfoStream, XinfoHelp
Zadd	Zadd, ZaddCh, ZaddNx, ZaddXx, ZaddXxCh

Please see the following table for deprecated Redis commands and their replacements:

Redis command	Replaced by API command
Cluster Slaves	Cluster Replicas
Hmset	Hset
Setex	SetEx
Setnx	SetNx
