encoding

Go package containing implementations of encoders and decoders for various data formats. At Segment, we do a lot of marshaling and unmarshaling of data when sending, queuing, or storing messages. The resources we need to provision on the infrastructure are directly related to the type and amount of data that we are processing. At the scale we operate at, the tools we choose to build programs can have a large impact on the efficiency of our systems. It is important to explore alternative approaches when we reach the limits of the code we use. This package has no dependencies outside of the core runtime of Go. It requires a recent version of Go.
