**Requires Go 1.8+**

Go 1.8+ is needed for proper `Ext json.RawMessage` marshaling: non-pointer `json.RawMessage` is marshaled as base64 string prior to Go 1.8.

This library uses `json.RawMessage` since [v10.0.0](https://github.com/mxmCherry/openrtb/releases/tag/v10.0.0).

This library is tested with Go 1.9+ since [v12.0.0](https://github.com/mxmCherry/openrtb/releases/tag/v12.0.0).

# Using

```bash
go get -u "github.com/mxmCherry/openrtb/..."
```

```go
import (
	openrtb2 "github.com/mxmCherry/openrtb/openrtb2"

	openrtb3 "github.com/mxmCherry/openrtb/openrtb3"
	adcom1 "github.com/mxmCherry/openrtb/adcom1"

	native1 "github.com/mxmCherry/openrtb/native1"
	nreq "github.com/mxmCherry/openrtb/native1/request"
	nres "github.com/mxmCherry/openrtb/native1/response"
)
```

This repo follows [semver](http://semver.org/) - see [releases](https://github.com/mxmCherry/openrtb/releases).
Master always contains latest code, so better use some package manager to vendor specific version.

# Guidelines

## Naming convention
- [UpperCamelCase](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase)
- Capitalized abbreviations (e.g., `AT`, `COPPA`, `PMP` etc.)
- Capitalized `ID` keys

## Types
- Key types should be chosen according to OpenRTB specification (attribute types)
- Numeric types:
	- `int8` - short enums (with values <= 127), boolean-like attributes (like `BidRequest.test`)
	- `int64` - every other integral type
	- `float64` - coordinates, prices etc.
- Enums:
	- all enums, described in section 5, must be typed with section name singularized (e.g., "5.2 Banner Ad Types" -> `type BannerAdType int8`)
	- all typed enums must have constants for each element, prefixed with type name (e.g., "5.2 Banner Ad Types - XHTML Text Ad (usually mobile)" -> `const BannerAdTypeXHTMLTextAd BannerAdType = 1`)
	- never use `iota` for enum constants
	- OpenRTB (2.x) section "5.1 Content Categories" should remain untyped and have no constants

## Pointers/omitempty
Pointer | Omitempty | When to use                                                          | Example
------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------
 no     | no        | _required_ in spec                                                   | `Audio.mimes`
 yes    | yes       | _required_ in spec, but is a part of mutually-exclusive group        | `Imp.{banner,video,audio,native}`
 no     | yes       | zero value (`""`, `0`) is useless / has no meaning                   | `Device.ua`
 yes    | yes       | zero value (`""`, `0`) or value absence (`null`) has special meaning | `Device.{dnt,lmt}`

Using both pointer and `omitempty` is mostly just to save traffic / generate more "canonical" (strict) JSON.

## Documentation ([godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/mxmCherry/openrtb))
- [Godoc: documenting Go code](http://blog.golang.org/godoc-documenting-go-code)
- Each entity (type, struct key or constant) should be documented
- Comments for entities should be copy-pasted "as-is" from OpenRTB specification (except section 5 - replace "table" with "list" there; ideally, each sentence must be on a new line)

## Code organization
- Each RTB type should be kept in its own file, named after type
- File names are in underscore_case, e.g., `type BidRequest` should be declared in `bid_request.go`
- [go fmt your code](https://blog.golang.org/go-fmt-your-code)
- [EditorConfig](https://editorconfig.org/) (not required, but useful)
