Why go-ipfs-lite?

go-ipfs-lite is a minimum IPFS node implementation in Go. The official IPFS implementation Kubo offers maximum customization capability by allowing developers to inject their own implementation of its building components. However, the extensibility comes with complexity, which becomes a hurdle for developers who want quick integration. go-ipfs-lite strips out most of the interfaces and only accept plugins for basic components such as 'Datastore' and 'Blockstore'. The slim node becomes very easy to integrate and light-weight to operate.
