Hi,  
I am using confluent cloud and storing my data in the avro format in kafka topics. And now I am consuming this data as well as producing to the topics from the golang client. But I haven’t been able to serialize/deserialize them.  
I tried [https://github.com/riferrei/srclient](https://github.com/riferrei/srclient), but this I find to be incomplete as I havent been able to properly get the data stored in kafka-topics, instead it gave me somewhat the schema of the underlying topic.

Please recommend some package which I can use for my purpose.

There was a thread about this recently, does it help? 👉[Interfacing with schema registry from golang (msgs serialised as Protobuf msgs)](https://forum.confluent.io/t/interfacing-with-schema-registry-from-golang-msgs-serialised-as-protobuf-msgs/1379)
