go-codec v1.1.9 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-09-27 // over 3 years ago

  • 🚀 This is a production release of go-codec.

    🐎 The main benefits are streamlined go modules support, re-factoring and performance improvements:

    • ✂ removed some code cruft
    • 🚚 moved codec/bench into its own module, so it's requirements do not pollute the core library dependencies
    • implement reading the next value in the stream natively, provided by each format's handle
    • ✂ remove mode of reading the next value in the stream by decoding into a throwaway value and tracking bytes read
    • 🐎 clean up code to enable better inlining for better performance
    • 🛠 fix and expand tests to get richer code coverage;
      ✅ go test -cover reports > 90%
    • 🐎 and many general performance improvements ...

    📦 The main goal has always been to provide the most feature-rich and performant package
    for encoding and decoding of multiple popular binary and text formats in a consistent way.

    We believe we continue to achieve that!
