RSocket

RSocket is a binary protocol for use on byte stream transports such as TCP, WebSockets, and Aeron.

It enables the following symmetric interaction models via async message passing over a single connection:

• request/response (stream of 1)
• request/stream (finite stream of many)
• fire-and-forget (no response)
• event subscription (infinite stream of many)

Build and Binaries

⚠️ The master branch is now dedicated to development of the 1.1.x line.

Releases and milestones are available via Maven Central.

Example:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/milestone' }  // Reactor milestones (if needed)
}
dependencies {
    implementation 'io.rsocket:rsocket-core:1.1.2'
    implementation 'io.rsocket:rsocket-transport-netty:1.1.2'
}

Snapshots are available via oss.jfrog.org (OJO).

Example:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://maven.pkg.github.com/rsocket/rsocket-java' }
    maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/snapshot' }  // Reactor snapshots (if needed)
}
dependencies {
    implementation 'io.rsocket:rsocket-core:1.1.3-SNAPSHOT'
    implementation 'io.rsocket:rsocket-transport-netty:1.1.3-SNAPSHOT'
}

Development

Install the google-java-format in Intellij, from Plugins preferences. Enable under Preferences -> Other Settings -> google-java-format Settings

Format automatically with

$./gradlew goJF

Debugging

Frames can be printed out to help debugging. Set the logger io.rsocket.FrameLogger to debug to print the frames.

Requirements

• Java 8 - heavy dependence on Java 8 functional APIs and java.time, also on Reactor
• Android O - https://github.com/rsocket/rsocket-demo-android-java8

Trivial Client

package io.rsocket.transport.netty;

import io.rsocket.Payload;
import io.rsocket.RSocket;
import io.rsocket.core.RSocketConnector;
import io.rsocket.transport.netty.client.WebsocketClientTransport;
import io.rsocket.util.DefaultPayload;
import reactor.core.publisher.Flux;

import java.net.URI;

public class ExampleClient {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebsocketClientTransport ws = WebsocketClientTransport.create(URI.create("ws://rsocket-demo.herokuapp.com/ws"));
        RSocket clientRSocket = RSocketConnector.connectWith(ws).block();

        try {
            Flux<Payload> s = clientRSocket.requestStream(DefaultPayload.create("peace"));

            s.take(10).doOnNext(p -> System.out.println(p.getDataUtf8())).blockLast();
        } finally {
            clientRSocket.dispose();
        }
    }
}

Zero Copy

By default to make RSocket easier to use it copies the incoming Payload. Copying the payload comes at cost to performance and latency. If you want to use zero copy you must disable this. To disable copying you must include a payloadDecoder argument in your RSocketFactory. This will let you manage the Payload without copying the data from the underlying transport. You must free the Payload when you are done with them or you will get a memory leak. Used correctly this will reduce latency and increase performance.

Example Server setup

RSocketServer.create(new PingHandler())
        // Enable Zero Copy
        .payloadDecoder(PayloadDecoder.ZERO_COPY)
        .bind(TcpServerTransport.create(7878))
        .block()
        .onClose()
        .block();

Example Client setup

RSocket clientRSocket =
        RSocketConnector.create()
            // Enable Zero Copy
            .payloadDecoder(PayloadDecoder.ZERO_COPY)
            .connect(TcpClientTransport.create(7878))
            .block();
