# TODO
|
||
|
||
The following are a wishlist or things planned that may come in later
|
||
versions.
|
||
|
||
- More clear errors
|
||
|
||
- Currently during e.g. `UnmarshalBinary` calls, just an `io.EOF`
|
||
will be returned if the buffer is exhausted early. This may be
|
||
able to be a little more context-helpful by using the `Err*`
|
||
errors.
|
||
|
||
- Confirmation of read/write sizes in buffers
|
||
|
||
- The sizes they **should** be are known, there’s no reason to not
|
||
confirm it.
|
||
|
||
- Goroutines
|
||
|
||
- This of course won’t work for serializing and keeping **order**
|
||
of children (e.g. RG ⇒ Record); that’d still need to be ordered,
|
||
but it will allow for parallel parsing **of** those children.
|
||
Should benchmark, though; it may not be worth it.
|
||
|
||
- `context.Context` support for `Read*` and `Write*` funcs
|
||
|
||
- This is a relatively low priority as the passed `net.Conn` will
|
||
likely return an error if its own context is canceled. This can
|
||
be handled in the caller downstream.
|
||
|
||
- Better/more strict interfaces
|
||
|
||
- Maps for generic should have `any`, not `interface{}` values
|
||
|
||
- FVP should have its own method to a map\[string\]\[\]byte return
|
||
value
|
||
|
||
- "Getters and Setters" (ew, I know, but compromises are made with
|
||
flexibility)
|
||
|
||
- `.Append*()` methods to append any type to any parent type. e.g.
|
||
`<Response>.AppendFVP(<FieldValuePair>)` would append an FVP to
|
||
the most recent ResponseRecord to the most recent
|
||
ResponseRecordGroup (or create if they don’t exist),
|
||
`<Response>.AppendRecord(…)` for appending a record to most
|
||
recent record group etc.
|
||
|
||
- `.Get()`/`.Set()` on a Response/Request to get/set a slice of
|
||
values (`<FieldValue>`) from filter criteria as struct (e.g.
|
||
field name, how many, first X, last X, etc.)
|
||
|
||
- `.GetPath*()` and `.SetPath*()` to use
|
||
**\[`RG_N`\[`R_N`\[`FVP_N`\]\]\]** indexing (e.g. `0, 0, 0` for
|
||
RecordGroup 0/Record 0/FVP 0, `1, 3, 5` for RecordGroup 1/Record
|
||
3/FVP 5, etc.) multidimentional indexing
|
||
|
||
- Allow specific lookups/sets by multidimentional array index
|
||
to return FVP (`.GetIndex(idx)` where `idx` is a fixed-size
|
||
array of dimensions for object’s children paths); e.g.
|
||
`<Response>.GetIndex(idx)`, `idx` is `[3]int` and returns
|
||
FVP)
|
||
|
||
- Allow lookups/sets by variable length index
|
||
(`.GetIndexDynamic(idx)`, where `idx` is a `1` to `n`-size
|
||
slice of dimensions for object’s children paths (e.g.
|
||
`<Response>.GetIndexDynamic([]int{0, 0})` returns
|
||
`any(<Record>)` but
|
||
`<Response>.GetIndexDynamic([]int{0, 0, 0})` returns
|
||
`any(FieldValuePair)`)
|
||
|
||
- negative value indicates **all** children
|
||
|
||
- Lookups/sets at fixed levels (e.g.
|
||
`<RecordGroup>.GetRecord(idx)`, `idx` is `[1]int`, but
|
||
`<RecordGroup>.GetFVP(idx)`, `idx` is `[2]int`) for type
|
||
safety
|
||
|
||
- All objects have `.ID()` that returns their
|
||
index/"path"/"key" from the root, and `.Index()` that
|
||
returns their index within their immediate parent
|
||
|
||
- This obviously requires a `.Resolve()` first
