+Go Micro is a pluggable RPC framework for **microservices**. It simplifies building distributed systems and is part of the [Micro](https://github.com/micro/micro) toolkit.
 
 The **Micro** philosophy is sane defaults with a pluggable architecture. We provide defaults to get you started quickly but everything can be easily swapped out. It comes with built in support for {json,proto}-rpc encoding, consul or multicast dns for service discovery, http for communication and random hashed client side load balancing.
 
 Everything in go-micro is **pluggable**. You can find and contribute to plugins at [github.com/micro/go-plugins](https://github.com/micro/go-plugins).
