[ANN] Consistent Overhead Byte Stuffing: COBS.jl

Package Announcements
1

COBS.jl is a tiny tiny package I just wrote for encoding bytes according to the COBS algorithm. This will be mostly useful for people communicating with an Arduino via a serial port.

My main goal was to write something I need. I needed to encode, not decode, so there’s only an encode function… But my hopes are that others that might need this will contribute in the future. Any comment is welcomed!

It’s not registered yet.

This spurred from the fruitful conversation and helpful input from all the wonderful people in this topic:

And now with decoding as well (albeit not directly from a port).

I feel it’s worth mentioning that there is a new COBS package and I think it’s better:
