How to use the codecs package

// make a codec service
codecService := new(codecs.WebCodecService)

// get the content type (probably from the request)
var contentType string = "application/json"

// get the codec
codec, err := codecService.GetCodec(contentType)

if err != nil {
	// handle errors - specifially ErrorContentTypeNotSupported
}

/*
	[]bytes to object
*/

// get the raw data
dataBytes := []byte(`{"somedata": true}`)

// use the codec to unmarshal the dataBytes
var obj interface{}
unmarshalErr := codecService.UnmarshalWithCodec(codec, dataBytes, obj) error

if unmarshalErr != nil {
	// handle this error
}

// obj will now be an object built from the dataBytes

// get some details about the kind of response we're going to make
// (probably from the request headers again)
var accept string = "application/json"
var extension string = ".json"
var hasCallback bool = false

// get the codec to respond with (it could be different)
responseCodec, responseCodecErr := codecService.GetCodecForResponding(accept, extension, hasCallback)

if responseCodecErr != nil {
    // handle this error
}

/*
	object to []bytes
*/

// get the data object
dataObject := map[string]interface{}{"name": "Mat"}

// use the codec service to marshal to bytes
bytes, marshalErr := codecService.MarshalWithCodec(responseCodecErr, dataObject, nil)

if marshalErr != nil {
	// handle marshalErr
}

// bytes would now be a representation of the data object
