Implementing an HTTP endpoint - deprecated Go packages

Just FYI - the packages used in the Go example below are deprecated.

https://www.chirpstack.io/application-server/integrations/http/

package github.com/golang/protobuf/jsonpb is deprecated: Use the “google.golang.org/protobuf/encoding/protojson” package instead.

package github.com/golang/protobuf/proto is deprecated: Use the “google.golang.org/protobuf/proto” package instead.

That’s because the chirpstack-api Go package is built using the protobuf V1 library. There is a tracking bug for a future update:

Wish list: Update API and associated projects to Go protobuf V2

- [ ] I have searched the [issues](https://github.com/brocaar/chirpstack-api/issues) of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate. ## Summary Go protobuf V2 (https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/protobuf) was released a while ago. It would be nice to have the API updated to V2 to better unify code bases that are integrated with ChirpStack and permanently get rid of those deprecated linter warnings. ## What is the use-case? To make life easier for projects that integrate using `chirpstack-api`. The current integration messages, for example, do not implement the proto reflect methods necessary to use the V2 protobuf API. ## Implementation description Presumably this would require a significant search-and-replace of this repo and all associated projects. I imagine there would be limited changes to logic, if any. ## Can you implement this by yourself and make a pull request? Maybe, kinda busy. ;)
