All other ranges and slicing uses exclusive end so i think it make sense
to make it consistent.
Update docs and add additional example for non-byte-aligned field.
Also fixes issue showing zero bit ranges as start-NA.
Skips gap fields in struct and arrays.
Gaps fields are bit ranges that a decoder did not add any fields for.
Note that skipping gaps in arrays will affect indexes.
Feels less cluttered, easier to read and more consistent.
Still keep tovalue, tobytes etc that are more basic functions this
only renamed format related functions.
Also there is an exceptin for to/fromjson as it comes from jq.
Also fixes lots of spelling errors while reading thru.
I think this is more intuitive but might in some case cause very large JSON output
but maybe that less common or expected. In does cases i think you either want to
use some other bits_format (md5, truncate, etc) or you delete/transform the jq value
before turn it into JSON.
Strings in gojq are binary safe so you can use to hold raw bytes. But note that
convert the binary into JSON is lossy, same as the JSON standard.
Add bits_format option documentation.
raw format was a hack to skip decoding to be able to get a binary using tobyte etc.
Now you can do fq -d bytes ... instead of fq -d raw 'tobytes | ...'
Before if you did toactual it behaved differently and even gave error for
a scalar that only had actual value set. Now both to{actal,sym} works
similar to tovalue but will force if actual or sym value should be used.
json, yaml, toml, xml, html, csv are now normal formats and most of them also particiate
in probing (not html and csv).
Also fixes a bunch of bugs in to/fromxml, to/fromjq etc.
Add toxml/fromxml for XML encoding, mighe be lossy on ordering
fromxml has {seq:bool} to add #seq attributes to improve ordering
toxml has {indent:number} to choose space indent depth
Add tojson, same as in jq but also has {indent:number} options
Add toyaml/fromyaml for YAML
Add totoml/fromtoml for TOML
Add tojq/fromjq for jq-flavored JSON (optional quotes for keys, comments and trailing commas support)
Add tocsv/fromcsv for CSV
formcvs takes {comma:string, comment:string} for custom separtor and comment character
Rename/split hex into tohex/fromhex
Rename/split base64 into tobase64/frombase64
tobase64/frombase64 takes {encoding:string} option for base64 flavour (std, url, rawstd, rawurl)
Add to/from<format> urlpath, urlquery, url, xmlentities, base64, hex
Add to<hash> md4, md5, sha1, sha256, sha512, sha3_224, sha3_256, sha3_384, sha3_512
Add to/from<encoding> iso8859-1, utf8, utf16, utf16le, utf16be
Add explode for binary that explode into an array of the binary unit tobits
Remove scan_toend as it feels a bit weird and one can use tobytes | .[match(...):] instead
Some general cleanup also
Now repl, slurp and help implemented using same query rewrite.
Include filename context in error if possible.
Add spew function that does opposite of slurp.
Start of help infra, not done or documented yet.
Show error pointer on parse error.
Rename internal eval to _eval and make eval be wrapper that
does rewrite and has various eror handling etc.
Nicer repl, slupr and help errors.
Rename buffer to binary. Still some work left what to call buffer/binary in decode code.
Document decode value and binary type
Fix proper unit padding for tobytes and add still undocumenated extra padding argument.
Add some additional binary tests
