Some examples: + + type BisSet []int + type BitSet64 uint64 + type UUID string + type MyStructWithUnexportedFields struct { a int; b bool; c []int; } + type GifImage struct { ... } + +As an illustration, MyStructWithUnexportedFields would normally be +encoded as an empty map because it has no exported fields, while UUID +would be encoded as a string. However, with extension support, you can +encode any of these however you like. + +There is also seamless support provided for registering an extension (with a tag) +but letting the encoding mechanism default to the standard way. + +Custom Encoding and Decoding + +This package maintains symmetry in the encoding and decoding halfs. +We determine how to encode or decode by walking this decision tree + + - is there an extension registered for the type? + - is type a codec.Selfer? + - is format binary, and is type a encoding.BinaryMarshaler and BinaryUnmarshaler? + - is format specifically json, and is type a encoding/json.Marshaler and Unmarshaler? + - is format text-based, and type an encoding.TextMarshaler and TextUnmarshaler? + - else we use a pair of functions based on the "kind" of the type e.g. map, slice, int64, etc + +This symmetry is important to reduce chances of issues happening because the +encoding and decoding sides are out of sync e.g. decoded via very specific +encoding.TextUnmarshaler but encoded via kind-specific generalized mode. + +Consequently, if a type only defines one-half of the symmetry +(e.g. it implements UnmarshalJSON() but not MarshalJSON() ), +then that type doesn't satisfy the check and we will continue walking down the +decision tree. + +RPC + +RPC Client and Server Codecs are implemented, so the codecs can be used +with the standard net/rpc package. + +Usage + +The Handle is SAFE for concurrent READ, but NOT SAFE for concurrent modification. + +The Encoder and Decoder are NOT safe for concurrent use. + +Consequently, the usage model is basically: + + - Create and initialize the Handle before any use. + Once created, DO NOT modify it. + - Multiple Encoders or Decoders can now use the Handle concurrently. + They only read information off the Handle (never write). + - However, each Encoder or Decoder MUST not be used concurrently + - To re-use an Encoder/Decoder, call Reset(...) on it first. + This allows you use state maintained on the Encoder/Decoder. + +Sample usage model: + + // create and configure Handle + var ( + bh codec.BincHandle + mh codec.MsgpackHandle + ch codec.CborHandle + ) + + mh.MapType = reflect.TypeOf(map[string]interface{}(nil)) + + // configure extensions + // e.g. for msgpack, define functions and enable Time support for tag 1 + // mh.SetExt(reflect.TypeOf(time.Time{}), 1, myExt) + + // create and use decoder/encoder + var ( + r io.Reader + w io.Writer + b []byte + h = &bh // or mh to use msgpack + ) + + dec = codec.NewDecoder(r, h) + dec = codec.NewDecoderBytes(b, h) + err = dec.Decode(&v) + + enc = codec.NewEncoder(w, h) + enc = codec.NewEncoderBytes(&b, h) + err = enc.Encode(v) + + //RPC Server + go func() { + for { + conn, err := listener.Accept() + rpcCodec := codec.GoRpc.ServerCodec(conn, h) + //OR rpcCodec := codec.MsgpackSpecRpc.ServerCodec(conn, h) + rpc.ServeCodec(rpcCodec) + } + }() + + //RPC Communication (client side) + conn, err = net.Dial("tcp", "localhost:5555") + rpcCodec := codec.GoRpc.ClientCodec(conn, h) + //OR rpcCodec := codec.MsgpackSpecRpc.ClientCodec(conn, h) + client := rpc.NewClientWithCodec(rpcCodec) + +Running Tests + +To run tests, use the following: + + go test + +To run the full suite of tests, use the following: + + go test -tags alltests -run Suite + +You can run the tag 'codec.safe' to run tests or build in safe mode. e.g. + + go test -tags codec.safe -run Json + go test -tags "alltests codec.safe" -run Suite + +Running Benchmarks + + cd bench + go test -bench . -benchmem -benchtime 1s + +Please see http://github.com/ugorji/go-codec-bench . + +Caveats + +Struct fields matching the following are ignored during encoding and decoding + - struct tag value set to - + - func, complex numbers, unsafe pointers + - unexported and not embedded + - unexported and embedded and not struct kind + - unexported and embedded pointers (from go1.10) + +Every other field in a struct will be encoded/decoded. + +Embedded fields are encoded as if they exist in the top-level struct, +with some caveats.
