Class Encoding

A data-flow node that encodes data to a binary or textual format. This is intended to include serialization, marshalling, encoding, pickling, compressing, encrypting, etc.

An encoding (automatically) preserves taint from input to output.

Extend this class to refine existing API models. If you want to model new APIs, extend Encoding::Range instead.
