No protobuf. No codegen.  \nJust structs, CBOR, pipes and a handshake.\n\n## ✨ Why PlugKit?\n\nPlugKit is a micro-framework that lets you:\n\n- create and run plugins as separate processes (we call them simply plugs)\n- communicate with them over `stdin`/`stdout`\n- pass arbitrary Go structs encoded with CBOR\n- use bidirectional message routing\n- gracefully terminate a plug whenever you want (`Finish`)\n\nIt's like HashiCorp’s `go-plugin`, but:\n- without the pain\n- without reflection\n- without type registries\n- **with streaming message support** 😎 (in future)\n\n## 🧪 Status\n\nPlugKit is under active development.   \nThe API will evolve slightly, but the core already works:\n\n- ✅ Running plugins as separate processes\n- ✅ Bidirectional communication (host \u003c-\u003e plugin)\n- ✅ CBOR serialization (`fxamacker/cbor`)\n- ✅ Handling multiple message types\n- ✅ `Finish()` with exit code support\n- ⏳ Handshake with capabilities negotiation\n- ⏳ Unit tests\n- ⏳ API documentation  \n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmjwhodur%2Fplugkit","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmjwhodur%2Fplugkit","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmjwhodur%2Fplugkit/lists"}
