This library provides an implementation of SPINE 1.3 in go, which is part of the EEBUS specification.

Basic understanding of the EEBUS concepts SHIP and SPINE to use this library is required. Please check the corresponding specifications on the EEBUS downloads website.

This repository was started as part of the eebus-go before it was moved into its own repository and this separate go package.

Important: In contrast to the EEBUS recommendation to use a "Generic" client feature, this library does not support this for the local device! Instead one should create a feature type with the client role for every required feature.

The analysis-docs/ directory contains comprehensive technical analysis of the SPINE-go implementation:

• Start Here - Navigation guide for different audiences
• Executive Summary - High-level overview for business stakeholders
• Detailed Analysis - In-depth technical documentation covering:
  • SPINE specification analysis and critical issues
  • Implementation quality assessment
  • Specification deviations and undefined behaviors
  • Improvement roadmap with prioritized recommendations
• Specific Issues - Focused analysis of key implementation topics:
  • Binding and orchestration patterns
  • Version management architecture
  • Identifier validation and update semantics

This documentation provides essential insights for production deployments, multi-vendor compatibility considerations, and understanding the safety features built into spine-go.

This package contains required interfaces. They are used extensivly to be able to mock everything and implement tests that focus specificaly on a limited set of interface implementations

This packge contains tests that cover implementations of multiple packages in concert.

This package contains auto generated mocks for the interfaces defined in the api package using Mockery.

This package contains the go represenation of the SPINE data model. It makes use of go tags for proper JSON serialization and also for implementing generic SPINE feature to function and data mapping.

This package contains the implementation for working with the SPINE devices, entites, features, functions and data.

This package contains generic helpers used by most of the packages, e.g. for working with pointers.
