Mangos v1 is a pure Go implementation of the nanomsg Scalability Protocols (SP) messaging system, supporting Req/Rep, Pub/Sub, Pair, Bus, Push/Pull, and Surveyor patterns over TCP, TLS, IPC, inproc, and WebSocket transports. This is the frozen legacy v1 branch; users are directed to mangos v2 for active development.

Use cases

  • implement pub/sub messaging between Go services
  • replace nanomsg C library with a pure Go alternative
  • build req/rep or push/pull pipelines in distributed Go apps
  • communicate with nanomsg or NNG peers from Go
  • use messaging on systems without cgo support
  • add inproc or IPC messaging between processes

When to choose

  • you need nanomsg SP protocol interoperability in pure Go
  • your environment lacks cgo support
  • you must stay on the v1 API for legacy compatibility

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - use mangos v2 instead
  • you need high-throughput brokered messaging like Kafka or NATS
  • you need ipc:// transport on Windows
