serialize

Overview ¶

Package serialize provides unified interface for encoding and decoding data with several implementations (JSON, MsgPack, Gob, ..).

Example usage:

var err error
var byteCoder serialize.ByteCoder
byteCoder = &serialize.JSONCoder{}
byteCoder = &serialize.MsgPackCoder{}

type MyStruct struct {
	A int
	B string
}

dataToSerialize := MyStruct{A: 100, B: "hey"}
encodedBytes, err := byteCoder.Encode(dataToSerialize)
if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "serialization failed: %v\n", err)
	os.Exit(1)
}

decodedData := MyStruct{}
err = byteCoder.Decode(encodedBytes, &decodedData)
if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "deserialization failed: %v\n", err)
	os.Exit(1)
}

fmt.Printf(
	"Original: %v\nSerialized: %v\nDecoded: %v\n",
	dataToSerialize, encodedBytes, decodedData)

Will print out: Original: {100 hey} Serialized: [130 161 65 100 161 66 163 104 101 121] Decoded: {100 hey}
