Re: [go-nuts] Question regarding gob

[Robert Engels]

I think the big difference is that gob is most often for Go to Go serialization (at least easily), where as gRPC is cross-platform RPC mechanism using a cross platform serialization (protobufs).

Gob is supported, but I'm not familiar with its current popular use cases. Most often I see people mapping Go types directly to JSON, but using protos with gRPC and other places where the compact encoding helps.

Thanks for the reply, Sameer.

Being able to directly send go types is a really big plus for me, I wonder if I really want to use gob, are there any recommended rpc choices?

Btw, since grpc + protobuf is the recommended choice right now, does that mean gob is semi deprecated (or at least on hiatus) right now?

With gRPC, I recommend you use protobuf.

I planed to use net/rpc with gob, but then found the GitHub issue saying net/rpc is deprecated, and people should be using grpc instead.

That leads to the question should I use grpc with gob or stick with protobuf? Google suggests not many people talk about using grpc with gob, any there aren't many examples demonstrating how to integrate gob into grpc. 

I wonder why that's case? Should I use gob or stick with protobuf?

Thanks in advance.
