Triumphant ActivityPub for Go

Hannibal is an experimental ActivityPub library for Go. It's goal is to be a robust, idiomatic, and thoroughly documented ActivityPub implementation fits into your application without any magic or drama.

PLEASE USE.. *with caution

I would be honored for you to see if Hannibal works for your project. It is being used successfully in several production websites.

However, it is still subject to significant breaking changes. So, please reach out and I am happy to help you get things working in your own software. And, please be prepared for the ground to shift under your feet with newer versions.

Packages

Like the ActivityPub spec itself, Hannibal is broken into several layers:

pub - ActivityPub client/server

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

This is not an ActivityPub framework, but a simple library that easily plugs into your existing app. Add ActivityPub behaviors to your existing handlers, and send ActivityPub messages to

vocab - ActivityStreams Vocabulary

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/

The vocab package includes the standard ActivityStream vocabulary, including names of actions, objects and properties used in ActivityPub.

streams - ActivityStreams data structures

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/

The streams package contains common data structures defined in the ActivityStreams spec, notably definitions for: Document, Collection, OrderedCollection, CollectionPage, and OrderedCollectionPage. These are used by ActivityPub to send and receive multiple records in one HTTP request.

This package also includes a lightweight wrapper around generic data structures (like map[string]any and []any) that makes it easy to access data structures within an ActivityStreams/JSON-LD document.

sigs - HTTP Signatures and Digests

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-message-signatures

The sigs package creates and verifies HTTP signatures and Digests.
