Go HTTP client for Ponzu

go-client's Issues

Implement grpc using protobuf or flatbuffers

Wishing to hear opinions..

I would prefer a faster API that can still work with json but I can use protobufs too.

I want to do some work on extending ponzu but hate the loose typing of json and http handlers.

If Flatbuffers with grpc were the basis then you can expose that also as a rest / graphql API for those that are cool with untyped.

It would also make building real apps on top of the headless CMS much easier. For example you can use a grpc Flatbuffers client that is code generated and then built complex GUI using gopherjs or flutter easily.
Both support protobuf and Flatbuffers.

I am aware that this is a big refactoring. But I still think it's worth raising as ponzu might benefit.

TODO: implement sql.Scanner and driver.Value

Would this be useful? Not 100% sure about how/where driver.Valuer would be used, but a making a *client.APIResponse implement the sql.Scanner interface would let users do:

resp, err := client.Content("Blog", 1)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

// content.Blog is the Blog type imported from user's Ponzu content package
var singleBlogPost content.Blog
resp.Scan(&singleBlogPost)

// then use singleBlogPost and all it's fields
fmt.Println("The title of the blog post is:", singleBlogPost.Title)

fix: close response body in process func after usage

not sure why I left this undone, but adding here as a reminder, or if someone else wants to contribute.
