GoLang Client Support?

General
#1

Hello,

We are currently running a small POC and would like to have a Pure GoLang client (No C++ dependencies), when trying to connect to MemGraph with https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-go-driver/tree/1.8 we are getting the following error:

Server responded with unsupported version 1

Questions:

  • What are the actual versions of the protocol that MemGraph supports?
  • Are there any plans to support newer version?
  • How about a pure GoLang or Rust client, anything on the roadmap?

Regards and thanks in advance for any help,
Seb

Hi @syepes! Welcome to Memgraph!

To quickly answer questions:

  • Memgraph supports Bolt v1. I think v1.7 of the Go driver should work with Memgraph (didn’t test by myself).
  • We try our best to be compatible with the latest versions, but it’s not always possible. At the moment, being compliant with the newest version doesn’t have a high priority.
  • We have plans to release Go and Rust relatively soon (by the end of this year), but they are going to be C based because we don’t have the capacity to build native clients yet.

What are the benefits of having “pure” Go or Rust client? Could you please explain in more detail?

Thank you!
