You can also write to nsq using http. What are the advantages of go-nsq over the http method

Whether there is pressure test data?

Using http is convenient, you can use the http request library of any language or framework you want. In many cases it may be quite sufficient for the use case / message rate.

The "binary" protocol is more efficient in terms of both bytes and cpu-time. All the http headers are skipped. The binary protocol message publish is like:

PUB <topic-name>\n
<4-bytes-len><N-bytes-body>

and the response is like:

<4-bytes-len><4-bytes-type>OK

That is a lot less work to parse than HTTP headers.

Unfortunately I don't have a good benchmark comparing performance of each method directly ... we have a few benchmarks in our nsqd test suite, but not that in particular, I don't think ...
