Compact binary encoding for Go

The Go standard library package encoding/binary provides encoding/decoding of fixed-size Go values or slices of same. This package extends support to arbitrary, variable-sized values by prefixing these values with their varint-encoded size, recursively. It expects the encoded type and decoded type to match exactly and makes no attempt to reconcile or check for any differences.
