goencodeGeneric Encoding for Go

Composable, type-safe codec interfaces. Serialize, compress, and persist data with a single API.

Type-Safe Generics

Codec[T] and StreamCodec[T] use Go generics so encode/decode operations are statically typed at compile time.

Layer gzip, flate, snappy, or zstd compression on any codec with a single function call using the decorator pattern.

StreamCodec[T] reads and writes directly to io.Reader/io.Writer for memory-efficient pipelines and network I/O.

The file codec writes to a temp file and renames into place, preventing partial writes and data corruption.

The core module uses only the Go standard library. Submodules for yaml, json2, snappy, and zstd are separate imports.

All codecs are safe for concurrent use. Stateless serializers share nothing between goroutines.
