Go Binding Specification · Bindings Policy

Go Codec Package Policy

Go bindings do not provide JSON, Protobuf, or MessagePack codec modules. The root zlink.systems/zlink module exposes raw Message and byte payload APIs only.

Applications that need object serialization must keep that choice in their own application layer or in a future framework module. Do not add replacement codec modules under the Go binding tree.

This keeps the Go binding contract focused on the low-level protocol API. Framework-owned codec extensions may be added later only if Go becomes a framework target under framework/languages/go/; they must not revive the removed bindings codec modules.
