Go Encoding

go-encoding is a Go package which abstracts various encoding mechanisms under a unified API.

Requirements

• Go 1.13+

Installation

$ go get github.com/Shopify/go-encoding

Usage

Encodings in this package follow either or both of these interfaces:

type ValueEncoding interface {
	Encode(data interface{}) ([]byte, error)
	Decode(b []byte, data interface{}) error
}

type StreamEncoding interface {
	StreamEncode(data interface{}, w io.Writer) error
	StreamDecode(r io.Reader, data interface{}) error
}

Encodings

To use a ValueEncoding as a StreamEncoding, you can wrap with NewStreamEncoding.

Or vice-versa by using NewValueEncoding.
