Codec Specifications

Here are collected some specifications for Codecs that are widely known and commonly used in the IPLD ecosystem.

(For more on the concept of Codecs -- what they are, what they do, and how IPLD defines them -- or for shorter human-friendly discussion of why you might choose some particular codec over another for your application -- see Codecs in the docs chapters instead.)
