encodery
Encodery is a term used to describe the practice, systems, and tools involved in converting data from one representation to another. In computing, encodery encompasses software libraries, data formats, and protocol layers that encode content for storage, transmission, or interoperability between systems. The term is not tied to a single product and is used more as a conceptual umbrella for encoding operations.
Encodery should be distinguished from encryption and data compression. Encoding is typically reversible without secret keys
Core components of an encodery ecosystem include encoders, decoders, and a registry of codecs or schemes. Modern
Common encoding schemes handled by encodery systems include base64, hexadecimal, URL percent-encoding, UTF-8 character encoding, JSON
Encodery concepts are applied in APIs, data serialization, messaging protocols, file formats, and data interchange between
