Beancode

Working with BitTorrent? You need Beancode.

Features

• Easy API based on stdlib
• Almost full unit test coverage: 86%
• Support int, string, slice, map, and struct

Usage

Let's define a common struct for encoding and decoding processes:

type Boo struct {
	Foo int `beancode:"foo"`
	Bar string `Beancode:"bar"`
}

To marshal into Bencode:

from := Boo{Foo: 42, Bar: "qux"}
val, err := beancode.Marshal(from)

To unmarshal from Bencode:

var to Boo
from := "d3:fooi42e3:bar3:quxe"

err := beancode.Unmarshal(from, &to)

Voila, as simple as that!

Install

go get github.com/dxtym/beancode

Benchmarks

Covered on AMD Ryzen 3 4300U with Radeon Graphics (8GB RAM).

• Marshal: 3652 ns/op, 361 B/op, 17 allocs/op
• Unmarshal: 3672 ns/op, 1515 B/op, 22 allocs/op

Plans

• Implement decode to struct
• Enhance benchmark performance
• Have some documentation
