Functions

func Tester

func Tester(t *testing.T, c Codec)

Tester is a test helper to test a Codec. It encodes a test struct using the given codec and decodes it into a second test struct afterwards. It then uses the reflect pkg to check if both structs have the exact same values.

Types

type Codec

type Codec interface {
	// Encode encodes the value to a byte slice.
	Encode(v interface{}) ([]byte, error)

	// Decode decodes the byte slice into the value.
	Decode(b []byte, v interface{}) error
}

Codec represents a codec used to encode and decode entities.
