Package cereal implements access to python cerealizer archives.

Cerealizer is a "secure pickle-like" python module that serializes python objects into a data stream that can be saved and read for later use. It was written by Jean-Baptiste "Jiba" Lamy and is available at:

https://pypi.org/project/Cerealizer/

This package provides a pure Go implementation to decode and unmarshal data stored by python programs using the cerealizer library.

Details on the cerealizer file format can be found here.

type SampleData struct {
    IntSlice []int
    String string
    Float float32
}

func main() {

    buf, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("filename")

    var d SampleData

    err := cereal.Unmarshal(buf, &d)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("Decoded data:\n%#v\n")
}
