Go uses the net.Conn interface to abstract different types of network connections. A net.Conn has both Read and Write methods, and is usable as an io.Reader and an io.Writer. Some common implementations of net.Conn are net.TCPConn, which uses TCP to provide reliable streams, and tls.Conn, which wraps an existing net.Conn and uses TLS to provide secure streams. A net.Conn object is usually created with a Dialer object, or with the net.
