godbus/dbus is a native Go library implementing client bindings for the D-Bus message bus system. It provides a Go-idiomatic API with channels for signals, asynchronous method calls, and goroutine-safe connections.
Use cases
- talk to systemd from a Go program
- send desktop notifications over D-Bus
- introspect D-Bus services and properties
- build Linux desktop apps that integrate with the session bus
- communicate with Bluetooth daemons via D-Bus
When to choose
- you need pure-Go D-Bus communication without cgo
- you're building Go software that talks to systemd or desktop services
- you want goroutine-safe connections and channel-based signal handling
When to avoid
- you need a guaranteed-stable API, as it may change without notice
- your project doesn't run on platforms with D-Bus
- you need a non-Go language binding
