| // Package flat implements binary.Encoder and binary.Decoder. It does not |
| // keep track of objects it has seen before, so encoding an object twice will |
| // result in two copies both in the stream and when decoded. This also means it |
| // will hang if it is given cyclic data structures. |
| |
| // Objects are encoded as: |
| // type [20]byte // A unique identifier for the type of the object |
| // ...data... // The object's data (length dependent on the object type) |
| // |
| // If the object is nil, then the object is encoded as a null type. |
