msgp

Overview ¶

msgp is a code generation tool for creating methods to serialize and de-serialize Go data structures to and from MessagePack.

This package is targeted at the `go generate` tool. To use it, include the following directive in a go source file with types requiring source generation:

//go:generate msgp

The go generate tool should set the proper environment variables for the generator to execute without any command-line flags. However, the following options are supported, if you need them:

-o = output file name (default is {input}_gen.go)
-file = input file name (or directory; default is $GOFILE, which is set by the `go generate` command)
-io = satisfy the `msgp.Decodable` and `msgp.Encodable` interfaces (default is true)
-marshal = satisfy the `msgp.Marshaler` and `msgp.Unmarshaler` interfaces (default is true)
-tests = generate tests and benchmarks (default is true)
