This library is a simple NETCONF client based on RFC6241 and RFC6241 (although not fully compliant yet). Today it only supports the SSH transport mechanism (and NETCONF 1.0 SSH framing)

Note: this is currently pre-alpha release. API and features may and probably will change. Suggestions and pull requests are welcome

• Support for SSH transport using go.crypto/ssh. (Other transports are planned)
• Built in RPC support (in progress)
• Support for custom RPCs
• Independent of XML library. Free to choose encoding/xml or another third party library to parse the results.

go get github.com/Juniper/go-netconf/netconf

package main

import (
	"code.google.com/p/go.crypto/ssh"
	"fmt"
	"github.com/Juniper/go-netconf/netconf"
)

func main() {
	username := "myuser"
	password := "mypassword"

	s, err := netconf.DialSSH(flag.Arg(0),
		netconf.SSHConfigPassword(username, password))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	defer s.Close()

	fmt.Printf("Server Capabilities: '%+v'\n", s.ServerCapabilities)
	fmt.Printf("Session Id: %d\n\n", s.SessionID)

	//reply, err := s.Exec([]byte("<rpc><get-config><source><running/></source></get-config></rpc>"))
	reply, err := s.ExecRPC(netconf.RPCGetConfig("running"))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("Reply: %+v", reply)
}
