This Bencode implementation in Go is distinct in its approach to encoding and decoding data. It utilizes Go struct tags, allowing developers to define objects for serialization and deserialization in a manner akin to JSON. This feature enhances the ease of use and integration with Go's native data structures, providing a seamless and efficient way to work with Bencode data.
- Struct Tag-Based Serialization: Encode and decode Bencode data using Go struct tags, offering a familiar and intuitive approach similar to JSON serialization.
- Support for Complex Types: Effortlessly handle complex data structures, including nested structs and slices, ensuring versatility in data representation.
- Streamlined Integration: Designed to align naturally with Go's standard practices, making it easy to incorporate into Go projects.
- Full Bencode Type Support: Efficiently manage all standard Bencode types like strings, integers, lists, and dictionaries.
