# ASV

[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/git.tebibyte.media/sashakoshka/go-asv.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/git.tebibyte.media/sashakoshka/go-asv)

This module allows encoding and decoding data using ASV (ASCII-separated
values). Data is organized into a hierarchy of files, groups, records, and
units, separated by ASCII FS, GS, RS, and US respectively.

An example stream of data...
```
record[US]one[RS]record[US]two[GS]record one in group two[FS]record one in file two
```

... Is parsed into:
```
Collection {
	File {
		Group {
			Record {
				"record",
				"one",
			},
			Record {
				"record",
				"two",
			},
		},
		Group {
			Record {
				"record one in group two",
			},
		},
	},
	File {
		Group {
			Record {
				"record one in file two",
			},
		},	
	},
}
```

Although it uses ASCII control characters, this module operates on UTF-8 text.
