This is dead code. A more complete implementation is:

github.com/go-edn/edn

This EDN encoding/decoding package is inspired and remixed from Go's excellent encoding/json package.

Warning: currently, it supports the following:

• Marshal function that encodes a Go value into EDN.
• TextMarshaler-implementing objects can be marshaled.
• Encoder for writing EDN objects to an output stream.

Please inspect the project's issues to see what is missing or buggy.

Go lacks EDN sets, symbols and keywords. This package awkwardly attempts to remedy this deficiency by implementing: Set, Symbol, Keyword.

These types are not fully fleshed out and their programming interface will need to be improved, and will certainly change.

Go []byte objects will be serialized like so:

#base64 "YW55ICsgb2xkICYgZGF0YQ=="

Note: I've taken a liberty here, and chose #base64 tag. This may change to something else when EDN spec gets updated to accommodate byte array objects.
