		Package encoding defines interfaces shared by other packages that
		convert data to and from byte-level and textual representations.
		Packages that check for these interfaces include encoding/gob,
		encoding/json, and encoding/xml. As a result, implementing an
		interface once can make a type useful in multiple encodings.
		Standard types that implement these interfaces include time.Time and net.IP.
		The interfaces come in pairs that produce and consume encoded data.
		
		Adding encoding/decoding methods to existing types may constitute a breaking change,
		as they can be used for serialization in communicating with programs
		written with different library versions.
		The policy for packages maintained by the Go project is to only allow
		the addition of marshaling functions if no existing, reasonable marshaling exists.

		BinaryMarshaler is the interface implemented by an object that can
		marshal itself into a binary form.
		
		MarshalBinary encodes the receiver into a binary form and returns the result.

		BinaryUnmarshaler is the interface implemented by an object that can
		unmarshal a binary representation of itself.
		
		UnmarshalBinary must be able to decode the form generated by MarshalBinary.
		UnmarshalBinary must copy the data if it wishes to retain the data
		after returning.

		TextMarshaler is the interface implemented by an object that can
		marshal itself into a textual form.
