Golang is a new-ish programming language that has really come into its own. It is a portable language which runs across many platforms; but allows advanced system and memory access unlike other web programming languages. There are a number of readily available packages which extend the functionality of Go without re-inventing the wheel, so you should use one of them if possible. But, if not, here is a simple TCP server and client example for Golang.
In the spirit of my Simple TCP Server and TCP Client for Java; I wanted to revisit the topic with my new favorite language: Go.
To compile and run the program, first install golang. Then, create these two files:
tcp-server.go:
package main
import "net"
import "fmt"
import "bufio"
import "strings" // only needed below for sample processing
func main() {
fmt.Println("Launching server...")
// listen on all interfaces
ln, _ := net.Listen("tcp", ":8081")
// accept connection on port
conn, _ := ln.Accept()
// run loop forever (or until ctrl-c)
for {
// will listen for message to process ending in newline (\n)
message, _ := bufio.NewReader(conn).ReadString('\n')
// output message received
fmt.Print("Message Received:", string(message))
// sample process for string received
newmessage := strings.ToUpper(message)
// send new string back to client
conn.Write([]byte(newmessage + "\n"))
}
}And then tcp-client.go:
package main import "net"
import "fmt"
import "bufio"
import "os"
func main() {
// connect to this socket
conn, _ := net.Dial("tcp", "127.0.0.1:8081")
for {
// read in input
from stdin reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)
fmt.Print("Text to send: ")
text, _ := reader.ReadString('\n')
// send to socket
fmt.Fprintf(conn, text + "\n")
// listen for reply
message, _ := bufio.NewReader(conn).ReadString('\n')
fmt.Print("Message from server: "+message)
}
}Run the server first with go run tcp-server.go. Then run the client with go run tcp-client.go. You can then type a message into the client, and the server will capitalize it and send it back to the client.
This program is a very simple example and does not include error handling. For example, it will freak when you abandon your client. But you get the general idea for how to get started writing a simple Golang program that created a TCP server and client.

This was just what I needed, thanks!
btw, when I copy and pasted the code examples on my Mac, newlines weren’t preserved. Attached image shows what I got. Typing everything out wasn’t a bad experience, actually. But in case you don’t know…
It is just the page template which doesn’t preserve newline. If you simply copy to collabedit and copy back, should be fine. I do this when get stuck in Mac copy paste issues.:)
doesnt work after one time and i get end of file error
I loved you even more than you’ll say here. The picture is nice and your writing is stylish, but you read it quickly. I think you should give it another chance soon. I’ll likely do that again and again if you keep this walk safe.
I loved you better than you would ever be able to express here. The picture is beautiful, and your wording is elegant; nonetheless, you read it in a short amount of time. I believe that you ought to give it another shot in the near future. If you make sure that this trek is safe, I will most likely try to do that again and again.
