BB marshaling

Library for marshalling data into binary format

This library provides functionality to convert (marshal) a Go struct into a binary format and to convert (unmarshal) binary data back into a Go struct. The aim is to ensure that the binary representation is as concise and straightforward as possible.

Supported types for fields

• string
• bool
• int, int8, int16, int32, int64
• uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64
• float32, float64
• Array/Slice of any type upper
• Nested struct with fields of any type upper

Not supported types for fields

• pointer
• func
• interface{}
• map
• chan

Basic example

Marshall

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/zumosik/bb-marshaling"
)

type TestStruct struct {
	Num  int64
	Flag bool
}

func main() {
	binData, err := bb.Marshall(TestStruct{Num: 3, Flag: true})
	if err != nil {
		// handle error
	}

	fmt.Println(binData) // do something with the binary data
}

Unmarshall

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/zumosik/bb-marshaling"
)

type TestStruct struct {
	Num  int64
	Flag bool
}

func main() {
	binData := []byte{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 1} // data from previous example
	var v TestStruct

	err := bb.Unmarshall(binData, &v)
	if err != nil {
		// handle error
	}

	fmt.Println(v) // // do something with the unmarshalled data
}
