# Project Summary: go-onvif
## Overview
**go-onvif** is a complete refactoring and modernization of the ONVIF library, providing a comprehensive, performant, and developer-friendly Go library for communicating with ONVIF-compliant IP cameras and video devices.
## What's Been Created
### Core Library Components
1. **Client Layer** (`client.go`)
- Modern client with functional options pattern
- Context-aware operations
- Connection pooling and HTTP client reuse
- Thread-safe credential management
- Automatic service endpoint discovery
2. **Type System** (`types.go`)
- Comprehensive ONVIF type definitions
- 40+ struct types covering all major ONVIF entities
- Type-safe API throughout
- Well-documented fields
3. **Error Handling** (`errors.go`)
- Typed error system
- Sentinel errors for common cases
- ONVIFError for SOAP faults
- Error checking utilities
4. **SOAP Client** (`soap/soap.go`)
- Complete SOAP envelope builder
- WS-Security authentication with UsernameToken
- Password digest (SHA-1) support
- XML marshaling/unmarshaling
- HTTP transport with proper headers
5. **Service Implementations**
- **Device Service** (`device.go`): Device info, capabilities, system operations
- **Media Service** (`media.go`): Profiles, streams, snapshots, encoder config
- **PTZ Service** (`ptz.go`): Movement control, presets, status
- **Imaging Service** (`imaging.go`): Image settings, focus, exposure control
6. **Discovery Service** (`discovery/discovery.go`)
- WS-Discovery multicast implementation
- Automatic camera detection
- Device information extraction
- Network scanning with configurable timeout
### Documentation
1. **README.md** - Comprehensive user guide with:
- Feature overview
- Installation instructions
- Quick start examples
- API reference table
- Usage examples for all services
- Architecture overview
- Compatibility information
2. **QUICKSTART.md** - Step-by-step tutorial:
- 5-minute getting started guide
- Complete working examples
- Common patterns and tips
- Troubleshooting section
3. **ARCHITECTURE.md** - Technical deep-dive:
- System architecture diagrams
- Design decisions and rationale
- Performance characteristics
- Security implementation details
- Future roadmap
4. **CONTRIBUTING.md** - Contributor guide:
- Development setup
- Coding standards
- Testing guidelines
- Pull request process
5. **CHANGELOG.md** - Version history tracking
6. **doc.go** - Package documentation with examples
### Examples
Four complete working examples in `examples/`:
1. **discovery** - Network camera discovery
2. **device-info** - Device information and profiles
3. **ptz-control** - PTZ movement demonstration
4. **imaging-settings** - Image setting adjustments
### Testing & CI
1. **Unit Tests** (`client_test.go`)
- Client initialization tests
- Option application tests
- Error handling tests
- Benchmarks
2. **CI Workflow** (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`)
- Multi-version Go testing (1.21, 1.22, 1.23)
- Linting with golangci-lint
- Code coverage reporting
- Build verification for all examples
## Key Improvements Over Original
### Modern Go Practices
**Context Support** - All operations use context.Context for cancellation and timeouts
**Functional Options** - Flexible client configuration
**Generics-Ready** - Designed for future generics integration
**Module Support** - Proper Go modules with minimal dependencies
### Performance
**Connection Pooling** - Reusable HTTP connections
**Efficient Memory** - Minimal allocations in hot paths
**Concurrent Safe** - Thread-safe operations
**Fast Discovery** - Optimized multicast implementation
### Developer Experience
**Type Safety** - Comprehensive type system
**Clear Errors** - Descriptive error messages with context
**Well Documented** - Extensive documentation and examples
**Simple API** - Intuitive method names and structure
### Security
**WS-Security** - Proper authentication implementation
**Password Digest** - SHA-1 digest (not plain text)
**TLS Support** - HTTPS endpoint support
**Configurable** - Custom HTTP client for advanced security

## Usage Example
```go
import "github.com/0x524A/go-onvif"
// Create client
client, _ := onvif.NewClient(
"http://camera.local/onvif/device_service",
onvif.WithCredentials("admin", "password"),
)
// Get device info
ctx := context.Background()
info, _ := client.GetDeviceInformation(ctx)
fmt.Printf("Camera: %s %s\n", info.Manufacturer, info.Model)
// Initialize and get stream
client.Initialize(ctx)
profiles, _ := client.GetProfiles(ctx)
streamURI, _ := client.GetStreamURI(ctx, profiles[0].Token)
fmt.Printf("Stream: %s\n", streamURI.URI)
// Control PTZ
velocity := &onvif.PTZSpeed{
PanTilt: &onvif.Vector2D{X: 0.5, Y: 0.0},
}
client.ContinuousMove(ctx, profiles[0].Token, velocity, nil)
```
