#### Features

- Simple and efficient encoding

- Based on MsgPack serialization algorithm

- Stores go type information inside encoded data

- Faster serialization than gob binary encoding

- More efficient output data size than gob binary encoding

- Serializes native go types, and arbritary structs or interfaces

- Enables predetermined encoding for structs without run-time reflection

- Allows serialization to and from maps, structs, slices, and nil interfaces

#### Installation

```bash

go get github.com/surrealdb/cork

```
