This example demonstrates how to use micro without protobuf.

Use micro with standard go types and use the json codec for marshalling. Services have multiple codecs and use the Content-Type header to determine which to use. The client sends Content-Type: application/json. Because we can marshal standard Go types to json there is no code generation or use of protobuf required.

Contents

• main.go - is a micro greeter service
• client - is a micro json client

Prereqs

# install
brew install consul

# run
consul agent -dev -advertise=127.0.0.1

Run the example
