The low bit is therefore analogous to a sign bit, but making it the complement bit
instead guarantees that the largest negative integer is not a special case. For
example, -129=^128=(^256>>1) encodes as (01 82).
example, -129=^128=(^256>>1) encodes as (FE 01 01).
Floating-point numbers are always sent as a representation of a float64 value.
That value is converted to a uint64 using math.Float64bits. The uint64 is then
byte-reversed and sent as a regular unsigned integer. The byte-reversal means the
exponent and high-precision part of the mantissa go first. Since the low bits are
often zero, this can save encoding bytes. For instance, 17.0 is encoded in only
two bytes (40 e2).
three bytes (FE 31 40).
Strings and slices of bytes are sent as an unsigned count followed by that many
uninterpreted bytes of the value.
