Ensure full compatibility with JS version
Hi, could you provide the actual state of compatibility between js and go ? I was not able to make each other talk yet, it's probably, due to an "old" orbitdb address, but I didnt have the time to debug it properly so far. If anyone has an advice or achieve to do it, please good you explain a bit here
Thank you so much in advance
From what I can see, there are at least a couple of models (feed, docs, possibly counter) that have yet to be implemented in this implementation, so I imagine that might cause some compatibility issues
Hi,
At this stage the compatibility between both versions has not been the main focus at @berty, it hasn't been tested and we can't guarantee that it works.
Regarding this issue two things need to be checked, features and compatibility.
As @sashahilton00 mentioned, some stores (feed, docs, counter) are not implemented. Same with access controllers, for example those relying on ethereum. The missing features mean that you can't open a store require them as it will throw an error.
The other thing which should be tested is that a JS client can talk to a Go one, can load a datastore created from the other implementation, use an address across both versions etc.
We plan to rewrite go-orbit-db and compatibility with the JS version isn't a focus.
