Data encoded with Ecoji sorts the same as the input data.

$ echo -n a | ecoji > /tmp/test.ecoji
$ echo -n ab | ecoji >> /tmp/test.ecoji
$ echo -n abc | ecoji >> /tmp/test.ecoji
$ echo -n abcd | ecoji >> /tmp/test.ecoji
$ echo -n ac | ecoji >> /tmp/test.ecoji
$ echo -n b | ecoji >> /tmp/test.ecoji
$ echo -n ba | ecoji >> /tmp/test.ecoji
$ export LC_ALL=C
$ sort /tmp/test.ecoji > /tmp/test-sorted.ecoji
$ diff /tmp/test.ecoji /tmp/test-sorted.ecoji
$ cat /tmp/test-sorted.ecoji

Language	Comments
Go	This repository offers a Go library package with two functions ecoji.Encode() and ecoji.Decode().
Java	Coming soon, I plan to implement this and publish to maven central unless someone else does.

Build instructions.

This is my first Go project, I am starting to get my bearings. If you are new to Go I would recommend this video and the tour.

# The following are general Go setup instructions.  Ignore if you know Go, I am new to it.
export GOPATH=~/go
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH

# This will download Ecoji to $GOPATH/src
go get github.com/keith-turner/ecoji

# This will build the ecoji command and put it in $GOPATH/bin
go install github.com/keith-turner/ecoji/cmd/ecoji
