• # Introduction

I want to collect and organize various information encoding formats in the CYFS protocol in this document. By reading this article, you can gain the ability to:

1. Correctly encode various information to store or exchange with other peers.
2. Correctly restore the encoded information obtained from the storage system or other peers.
3. When designing a new composite type, understand the data encoding specification, and be able to correctly select the appropriate basic type for encoding and decoding.

I. Basic type

• ## Multiple encoding methods (Raw/Protobuf/JSON)

• ## Simple type (integer/variable integer/float/timestamp/string/ObjectId...)

• ## Composite types (arrays/enumerations/structs, etc.)

II. Object encoding format

• ## Object general structure

• ## Various object encoding formats (desc/body)
