Byte buffers

Collection of various byte buffer implementations.

Chain buffer

A wrapper around []byte slice that supports chain write methods. Example of usage:

import "github.com/koykov/bytebuf"

var (
	buf bytebuf.Chain
	msg protobuf.ExampleMessage
)
b := buf.Write([]byte("foo")).
	WriteString("bar").
	WriteByte('@').
	WriteInt(-123).
	WriteUint(123).
	WriteFloat(3.1415).
	WriteBool(true).
	WriteX(1.23456).
	Bytes()
println(string(b)) // foobar@-1231233.1415true1.23456

The same operations may be proceeded using append()/AppendInt()/... functions around []byte slice, but Chain provides handy API for that.

Accumulative buffer

A wrapper around Chain buffer with "staked" features. The main idea is to accumulate (bufferize) various data and provide handy access to chunks of buffered data. Example of usage:

import "github.com/koykov/bytebuf"

var (
    buf bytebuf.Chain
    msg protobuf.ExampleMessage
)
chunk0 := buf.WriteMarshallerTo(&msg).Bytes()
chunk1 := buf.StakeOut().Write([]byte("foo")).
    WriteString("bar").
    WriteByte('@').
    WriteInt(-123).
    WriteUint(123).
    WriteFloat(3.1415).
    WriteBool(true).
    WriteX(1.23456).
    StakedBytes()
println(string(chunk0)) // h�������,�������?��ihttps
println(string(chunk1)) // foobar@-1231233.1415true1.23456

Thus, one buffer may be used to bufferize multiple data and hence reduce pointers in application.
