bingo

Fast, zero-allocation, lexicographic-order-preserving packing/unpacking of native Go types to bytes.

Features

• Encode bool, string, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, float32, float64, and time.Time
• Packed values maintain original sort order
• Pack values in descending order
• Pack to an existing byte slice with no additional allocations
• Create and pack values to a new byte slice (one allocation)
• Unpack all values or just specific indexes

Usage

Import bingo:

import "github.com/iancmcc/bingo"

Packing

// Create and return a byte slice with encoded values
key := bingo.MustPack(uint8(12), "cool string bro")

// Now unpack
var (
    first uint8
    second string
)
bingo.Unpack(key, &first, &second)


// Pack so results will sort the second value descending
key = bingo.WithDesc(false, true, false).MustPack(1, time.Now(), true)

// Just unpack the middle value
var t time.Time
bingo.UnpackIndex(key, 1, &t)


// Pack to an existing byte slice
existingSlice := make([]byte, 100)
key := bingo.MustPackTo(existingSlice, uint16(7), "abc123")
