Bencodex codec for Go

This library implements Bencodex serialization format which extends Bencoding.

Usage

It currently provides only the most basic encoder and decoder. See also these methods:

bencodex.Encode(val any) ([]byte, error)
bencodex.EncodeTo(w io.Writer, val any) error
bencodex.Decode(b []byte) (any, error)
bencodex.DecodeFrom(r io.Reader) (any, error)

If an integer is too large for decoding with int type, it is decoded to math/big.Int type. And math/big.Int is also available for encoding

The result of decoding the encoded dictionary is returned to the internally defined type, *bencodextype.Dictionary.

But you can use the map[string]any type for bencodex.Encode as well as the *bencodextype.Dictionary type.

type bencodextype.Dictionary
- func (d *Dictionary) Set(key any, value any)
- func (d *Dictionary) Get(key any) any
- func (d *Dictionary) Delete(key any)
- func (d *Dictionary) Contains(key any) bool
- func (d *Dictionary) Keys() []any
- func (d *Dictionary) Values() []any
- func (d *Dictionary) Length() int
- func (d *Dictionary) CanConvertToMap() bool
- func (d *Dictionary) ConvertToMap() map[string]any
- func NewDictionary() *Dictionary
- func NewDictionaryFromMap(m map[string]any) *Dictionary

It provides fundamental marshaling to Json and Yaml data

func util.MarshalJsonMap(data any) ([]byte, error)
func util.UnmarshalJsonMap(jsonData []byte]) (any, error)
func util.MarshalJsonRepr(data any) ([]byte, error)
func util.UnmarshalJsonRepr(jsonData []byte]) (any, error)
func util.MarshalYaml(data any) ([]byte, error)
func util.UnmarshalYaml(yamlData []byte) (any, error)

Json map data format looks like this
Json repr data format looks like this
