DEPRECATED
Development of the original Wire format was abandon and has consequently ServiceStack.Wire project been removed in v6. To continue using it you can copy the existing ServiceStack.Wire source code into your project
Wire is an efficient binary serialization format from the
Akka.NET Team with comparable performance to ProtoBuf but like MsgPack doesn’t
require your POCO’s to be annotated with [DataContract] attributes making it more suitable for
code-first POCO DTOs.
Installing via NuGet
Wire is easily installed with the ServiceStack.Wire NuGet package:
<PackageReference Include="ServiceStack.Wire" Version="6.*" />
After the NuGet Package is added to your Project, enable the Wire format in your AppHost with:
Plugins.Add(new WireFormat());
The NuGet plugin also includes the WireServiceClient client below so you can easily call it from any C# Client.
Client Usage
Just like the rest of ServiceStack C# Clients, WireServiceClient is interchangeable with the other
Service clients and provides and end-to-end API for consuming ServiceStack's Services, e.g:
var client = new WireServiceClient(BaseUri);
List<Todo> all = client.Get(new Todos()); // Count = 0
var todo = client.Post(
new Todo { Content = "New TODO", Order = 1 }); // todo.Id = 1
all = client.Get(new Todos()); // Count = 1
todo.Content = "Updated TODO";
todo = client.Put(todo); // todo.Content = Updated TODO
client.Delete(new Todos(todo.Id));
all = client.Get(new Todos());
