2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
The first redis RESP3 protocol library, written in Go.
You can use it to communicte with Redis 6 via RESP3, or you can wrap it as redis client lib.
Value represents a redis command or an redis response, which supports all RESP3 types:
Reader is used to read a Value object from the connection. It can be used by both redis clients and redis servers.
you can use it to test the client cache feature in Redis 6.0.
func TestReader_IT_Tracking(t *testing.T) {
conn, err := net.DialTimeout("tcp", "127.0.0.1:6379", 5*time.Second)
if err != nil {
t.Logf("can't found one of redis 6.0 server")
return
}
defer conn.Close()
w := NewWriter(conn)
r := NewReader(conn)
w.WriteCommand("HELLO", "3")
helloResp, _, err := r.ReadValue()
if err != nil {
t.Fatalf("failed to send a HELLO 3")
}
if helloResp.KV.Size() == 0 {
t.Fatalf("expect some info but got %+v", helloResp)
}
