package encoding/gob
Encode transmits the data item represented by the empty interface value, guaranteeing that all necessary type information has been transmitted first.
Golang encoding/gob.Encoder.Encode() function usage example
func encode_gob(data interface{}) ([]byte, error) {
buff := bytes.NewBuffer(nil)
enc := gob.NewEncoder(buff)
err := enc.Encode(data) // <----- here
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return buff.Bytes(), err
}
