go-cbor-util

CBOR utilities for reading and writing objects to CBOR representation, optimizing for fast path serialization/deserialization generated by cbor-gen

Install

Install this library with go mod

Usage

Write an object to a stream in cbor

import (
  cborutil "github.com/chenjianmei111/go-cbor-util"
  cbg "github.com/whyrusleeping/cbor-gen"
)

var w io.Writer
// some object type with cbg fastpath marshalling
var out cbg.CBORMarshaler
err := cborutil.WriteCborRPC(w, obj)

var slow interface{}
// will work but will be slower if slow does not support fast path marshalling
err := cborutil.WriteCborRPC(w, slow)

Read an object form a stream in cbor

import (
  cborutil "github.com/chenjianmei111/go-cbor-util"
  cbg "github.com/whyrusleeping/cbor-gen"
)

var r io.Reader
// some object type with cbg fastpath marshalling
var out cbg.CBORUnmarshaler
err := cborutil.ReadCborRPC(r, obj)

var slow interface{}
// will work but will be slower if slow does not support fast path unmarshalling
err := cborutil.ReadCborRPC(r, slow)

Functions

func AsIpld

func AsIpld(obj interface{}) (ipld.Node, error)

AsIpld converts an object to an ipld.Node interface TODO: this is a bit ugly, and this package is not exactly the best place

func Dump

func Dump(obj interface{}) ([]byte, error)

Dump returns the cbor bytes representation of an object

func Equals

func Equals(a cbg.CBORMarshaler, b cbg.CBORMarshaler) (bool, error)

Equals is true if two objects have the same cbor representation

func ReadCborRPC

func ReadCborRPC(r io.Reader, out interface{}) error

ReadCborRPC will read an object from the given io.Reader opting for fast path if possible

func WriteCborRPC

func WriteCborRPC(w io.Writer, obj interface{}) error

WriteCborRPC with encode an object to cbor, opting for fast path if possible and then write it into the given io.Writer
