# go-codec

This repository contains the `go-codec` library, the `codecgen` tool and

benchmarks for comparing against other libraries.

This is a High Performance, Feature-Rich Idiomatic Go 1.4+ codec/encoding library

for binary and text formats: binc, msgpack, cbor, json and simple.

It fully supports the legacy `GOPATH` and the new `go modules` modes.

## Code Organization and Module Support

This repository consists of 4 modules:

- `github.com/ugorji/go/codec` [README](codec/README.md)

- `github.com/ugorji/go/codec/codecgen` (requires `github.com/ugorji/go/codec`) [README](codec/codecgen/README.md)

- `github.com/ugorji/go/codec/bench` (requires `github.com/ugorji/go/codec`) [README](codec/bench/README.md)

- `github.com/ugorji/go` (requires `github.com/ugorji/go/codec`)

For encoding and decoding, the `github.com/ugorji/go/codec` module is sufficient.

To install:

```

go get github.com/ugorji/go/codec

```

The other modules exist for specific uses, and all require `github.com/ugorji/go/codec`

- `github.com/ugorji/go/codec/codecgen` generates high performance static encoders/decoders for given types

- `github.com/ugorji/go/codec/bench` benchmarks codec against other popular go libraries

- `github.com/ugorji/go` is here for [historical compatibility reasons, as modules was initially introduced only at repo root](https://github.com/ugorji/go/issues/299)
