Go-CoAP

The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a specialized web transfer protocol for use with constrained nodes and constrained networks in the Internet of Things. The protocol is designed for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications such as smart energy and building automation.

The go-coap provides servers and clients for DTLS, TCP-TLS, UDP, TCP in golang language.

Features

• CoAP over UDP RFC 7252.
• CoAP over TCP/TLS RFC 8232
• Observe resources in CoAP RFC 7641
• Block-wise transfers in CoAP RFC 7959
• request multiplexer
• multicast
• CoAP NoResponse option in CoAP RFC 7967
• CoAP over DTLS pion/dtls

Samples

Simple

Server UDP/TCP

	// Server
	
	// Middleware function, which will be called for each request.
	func loggingMiddleware(next mux.Handler) mux.Handler {
		return mux.HandlerFunc(func(w mux.ResponseWriter, r *mux.Message) {
			log.Printf("ClientAddress %v, %v\n", w.Client().RemoteAddr(), r.String())
			next.ServeCOAP(w, r)
		})
	}
	
	// See /examples/simple/server/main.go
	func handleA(w mux.ResponseWriter, req *message.Message) {
		err := w.SetResponse(codes.GET, message.TextPlain, bytes.NewReader([]byte("hello world")))
		if err != nil {
			log.Printf("cannot set response: %v", err)
		}
	}

	func main() {
		r := mux.NewRouter()
		r.Use(loggingMiddleware)
		r.Handle("/a", mux.HandlerFunc(handleA))
		r.Handle("/b", mux.HandlerFunc(handleB))

		log.Fatal(coap.ListenAndServe("udp", ":5688", r))

		
		// for tcp
		// log.Fatal(coap.ListenAndServe("tcp", ":5688",  r))

		// for tcp-tls
		// log.Fatal(coap.ListenAndServeTLS("tcp", ":5688", &tls.Config{...}, r))

		// for udp-dtls
		// log.Fatal(coap.ListenAndServeDTLS("udp", ":5688", &dtls.Config{...}, r))
	}

Client

	// Client
	// See /examples/simpler/client/main.go
	func main() {
		co, err := udp.Dial("localhost:5688")
		
		// for tcp
		// co, err := tcp.Dial("localhost:5688")
		
		// for tcp-tls
		// co, err := tcp.Dial("localhost:5688", tcp.WithTLS(&tls.Config{...}))

		// for dtls
		// co, err := dtls.Dial("localhost:5688", &dtls.Config{...}))

		if err != nil {
			log.Fatalf("Error dialing: %v", err)
		}
		ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Second)
		defer cancel()
		resp, err := co.Get(ctx, "/a")
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatalf("Cannot get response: %v", err)
			return
		}
		log.Printf("Response: %+v", resp)
	}
