Proposal: Add Encoder and Decoder

[johnynek]

Something like:

trait Encoder[T, U] {
  def apply(t: T): U
  // and andThen, toFn, 
}

trait Decoder[U, T] {
  def apply(u: U): Try[T]
}

// composition might be clearer than inheritance here.
trait Injection[T, U] {
  def encoder: Encoder[T, U]
  def decoder: Decoder[U, T]
}

trait Bijection[T, U] {
  def encoder: Encoder[T, U]
  def inverseEncoder: Encoder[U, T]
}

@sritchie yep…. twitter.bijection looks like an worse and worse package name. :)

Tony boy had it right all along!!

@softprops liked Kodiak

[softprops]

Thanks @sritchie .I mentioned "Codiak" on the twttrs: think Kodiak the bear but with a C for codec ( for transformations to and fro ). I had a similar idea for a library like bijection a few years back with Codiak as name because I realized there were so many interfaces for client libraries that could be implemented in terms of something like what you guys did actually did a good job of flushing out :) Free free to take this name. I never did anything with that repo as you can probably tell. It may go against twttrs bird rule for names though :). Anyway, feel free to take this name if it make sense.
