| // Package runtime includes helper functions for working with API objects |
| // that follow the kubernetes API object conventions, which are: |
| // |
| // 0. Your API objects have a common metadata struct member, TypeMeta. |
| // |
| // 1. Your code refers to an internal set of API objects. |
| // |
| // 2. In a separate package, you have an external set of API objects. |
| // |
| // 3. The external set is considered to be versioned, and no breaking |
| // changes are ever made to it (fields may be added but not changed |
| // or removed). |
| // |
| // 4. As your api evolves, you'll make an additional versioned package |
| // with every major change. |
| // |
| // 5. Versioned packages have conversion functions which convert to |
| // and from the internal version. |
| // |
| // 6. You'll continue to support older versions according to your |
| // deprecation policy, and you can easily provide a program/library |
| // to update old versions into new versions because of 5. |
| // |
| // 7. All of your serializations and deserializations are handled in a |
| // centralized place. |
| // |
| // Package runtime provides a conversion helper to make 5 easy, and the |
| // Encode/Decode/DecodeInto trio to accomplish 7. You can also register |
| // additional "codecs" which use a version of your choice. It's |
| // recommended that you register your types with runtime in your |
| // package's init function. |
| // |
| // As a bonus, a few common types useful from all api objects and versions |
| // are provided in types.go. |
