This package is a Go implementation of the Haystack API as defined in the Project Haystack Documentation. It is based on the haystack-java package, with adjustments for compatibility with the Go API and conventions. Currently, it implements the following:

• A Haystack Client
• The Haystack type system
• Zinc encoding and decoding
• JSON encoding and decoding
• Hayson encoding

How To Use

This package can be used by importing gitlab.com/NeedleInAJayStack/haystack (as is the norm in Go). Here is an example that uses the client:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/NeedleInAJayStack/haystack"
	"github.com/NeedleInAJayStack/haystack/client"
)

func main() {
	client := haystack.NewClient(
		// INSERT YOUR URL AND CREDENTIALS
		"http://server/haystack",
		"username",
		"password",
	)
	openErr := client.Open()
	if openErr != nil {
		fmt.Println(openErr)
	}
	sites, readErr := client.Read("site")
	if readErr != nil {
		fmt.Println(readErr)
	}
	fmt.Println(sites.ToZinc())
}

Future Efforts

These are enhancement ideas, in no particular order.

• Add Hayson unmarshalling
• Add a Haystack server implementation
