activity

go get github.com/go-fed/activity

This repository contains three libraries for use in your golang applications:

  • vocab: An ActivityStreams Vocabulary library
  • streams: A convenience library for the ActivityStreams Vocabulary
  • pub: ActivityPub SocialAPI (Client-to-Server) and FederateAPI (Server-to-Server)

This repository supports vgo and is remotely verifiable.

This library is biased. It forgoes understanding JSON-LD in exchange for static typing. It provides a large amount of default behavior to let Social, Federated, or both kinds of ActivityPub applications just work.

The go-fed.org website has a tutorial. It also hosts godoc documentation for every version of this library.

Status

0.3.0 (Semantic Versioning)

An official implementation report was last submitted for version 0.2.0 here.

Previous unofficial implementation reports are available in issue #46.

Please see CHANGELOG for changes between versions.

Getting Started

See each subdirectory for its own README for further elaboration. The recommended reading order is vocab, streams, and then pub. Others are optional.

How can I get help, file issues, or contribute?

Please see the CONTRIBUTING.md file!

How well tested are these libraries?

I took great care to add numerous tests using examples directly from specifications, official test repositories, and my own end-to-end tests.

Thanks

I would like to thank those that have worked hard to create the technologies and standards that created the opportunity to implement this suite of libraries.
