Configure channel in GoLang app
Javonet allows you to reference and use modules or packages written in (Java/Kotlin/Groovy/Clojure, C#/VB.NET, Ruby, Perl, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript) like they were created in your technology.
If you have not yet created your first project, check Javonet overview and quick start guides for your technology.
Javonet enables configuring the communication channel with foreign runtimes via a configuration file. Each runtime section (jvm
, netcore
, nodejs
, python
, ruby
, clr
, perl
) can be configured independently with one of the supported channel types:
- In-Memory Channel – high-performance, within-process communication
Learn more › - TCP Channel – for inter-process or remote communication over TCP
Learn more › - WebSocket Channel – ideal for browser-based or cross-platform communication
Learn more › Example configuration file with all three channel types:{ "licenseKey": "your-license-key", "runtimes": { "jvm": [ { "name": "default", "customOptions": "", "modules": "", "channel": { "type": "inMemory" } } ], "netcore": [ { "name": "default", "customOptions": "", "modules": "", "channel": { "type": "tcp", "host": "127.0.0.1", "port": 8080 } } ], "nodejs": { "name": "default", "customOptions": "", "modules": "", "channel": { "type": "webSocket", "host": "wss://127.0.0.1:443/ws", "port": 0 } } } }
To use this file, load it using:
// use Activate only once in your app _, err := Javonet.Activate(activationcredentials.YourLicenseKey) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error: " + err.Error()) } // set up variables configFilePath := resourcesDirectory + "/channel-tests-config.json" communicationChannel := Javonet.WithConfig(configFilePath) // use communicationChannel to create runtimes to interact with
Javonet can be used both in Node.js and in browser-based JavaScript environments.
When usingJavonet.withConfig(...)
, you are not limited to providing a configuration file path — you can also pass: - JavaScript object – representing the configuration structure directly in code.
- JSON string – containing the configuration as a raw JSON-formatted string.
This flexibility allows seamless integration regardless of your runtime environment.
You can use configuration from a file, a JavaScript object, or a JSON string depending on your use case. Below you can see a code example demonstrating how to load configuration from JavaScript object source.
