+## Install
+
+`go-cid` is a standard Go module which can be installed with:
+
+```sh
+go get github.com/ipfs/go-cid
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Running tests
+
+Run tests with `go test` from the directory root
+
+```sh
+go test
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+#### Parsing string input from users
+
+```go
+// Create a cid from a marshaled string
+c, err := cid.Decode("bafzbeigai3eoy2ccc7ybwjfz5r3rdxqrinwi4rwytly24tdbh6yk7zslrm")
+if err != nil {...}
+
+fmt.Println("Got CID: ", c)
+```
+
+#### Creating a CID from scratch
+
+```go
+// Create a cid manually by specifying the 'prefix' parameters
+pref := cid.Prefix{
+	Version: 1,
+	Codec: cid.Raw,
+	MhType: mh.SHA2_256,
+	MhLength: -1, // default length
+}
+
+// And then feed it some data
+c, err := pref.Sum([]byte("Hello World!"))
+if err != nil {...}
+
+fmt.Println("Created CID: ", c)
+```
+
+#### Check if two CIDs match
+
+```go
+// To test if two cid's are equivalent, be sure to use the 'Equals' method:
+if c1.Equals(c2) {
+	fmt.Println("These two refer to the same exact data!")
+}
+```
+
+#### Check if some data matches a given CID
+
+```go
+// To check if some data matches a given cid,
+// Get your CIDs prefix, and use that to sum the data in question:
+other, err := c.Prefix().Sum(mydata)
+if err != nil {...}
+
+if !c.Equals(other) {
+	fmt.Println("This data is different.")
+}
+
+```

+What golang Kinds work best to implement CIDs?
+==============================================
+
+There are many possible ways to implement CIDs.  This package explores them.
+
+### criteria
+
+There's a couple different criteria to consider:
+
+- We want the best performance when operating on the type (getters, mostly);
+- We want to minimize the number of memory allocations we need;
+- We want types which can be used as map keys, because this is common.
+
+The priority of these criteria is open to argument, but it's probably
+mapkeys > minalloc > anythingelse.
+(Mapkeys and minalloc are also quite entangled, since if we don't pick a
+representation that can work natively as a map key, we'll end up needing
+a `KeyRepr()` method which gives us something that does work as a map key,
+an that will almost certainly involve a malloc itself.)
+
+### options
+
+There are quite a few different ways to go:
+
+- Option A: CIDs as a struct; multihash as bytes.
+- Option B: CIDs as a string.
+- Option C: CIDs as an interface with multiple implementors.
+- Option D: CIDs as a struct; multihash also as a struct or string.
+- Option E: CIDs as a struct; content as strings plus offsets.
+- Option F: CIDs as a struct wrapping only a string.
+
+The current approach on the master branch is Option A.
+
+Option D is distinctive from Option A because multihash as bytes transitively
+causes the CID struct to be non-comparible and thus not suitable for map keys
+as per https://golang.org/ref/spec#KeyType .  (It's also a bit more work to
+pursue Option D because it's just a bigger splash radius of change; but also,
+something we might also want to do soon, because we *do* also have these same
+map-key-usability concerns with multihash alone.)
+
+Option E is distinctive from Option D because Option E would always maintain
+the binary format of the cid internally, and so could yield it again without
+malloc, while still potentially having faster access to components than
+Option B since it wouldn't need to re-parse varints to access later fields.
+
+Option F is actually a varation of Option B; it's distinctive from the other
+struct options because it is proposing *literally* `struct{ x string }` as
+the type, with no additional fields for components nor offsets.
+
+Option C is the avoid-choices choice, but note that interfaces are not free;
+since "minimize mallocs" is one of our major goals, we cannot use interfaces
+whimsically.
+
+Note there is no proposal for migrating to `type Cid []bytes`, because that
+is generally considered to be strictly inferior to `type Cid string`.
+
+
+Discoveries
+-----------
+
+### using interfaces as map keys forgoes a lot of safety checks
+
+Using interfaces as map keys pushes a bunch of type checking to runtime.
+E.g., it's totally valid at compile time to push a type which is non-comparable
+into a map key; it will panic at *runtime* instead of failing at compile-time.
+
+There's also no way to define equality checks between implementors of the
+interface: golang will always use its innate concept of comparison for the
+concrete types.  This means its effectively *never safe* to use two different
+concrete implementations of an interface in the same map; you may add elements
+which are semantically "equal" in your mind, and end up very confused later
+when both impls of the same "equal" object have been stored.
+
+### sentinel values are possible in any impl, but some are clearer than others
+
+When using `*Cid`, the nil value is a clear sentinel for 'invalid';
+when using `type Cid string`, the zero value is a clear sentinel;
+when using `type Cid struct` per Option A or D... the only valid check is
+for a nil multihash field, since version=0 and codec=0 are both valid values.
+When using `type Cid struct{string}` per Option F, zero is a clear sentinel.
+
+### usability as a map key is important
+
+We already covered this in the criteria section, but for clarity:
+
+- Option A: ❌
+- Option B: ✔
+- Option C: ~ (caveats, and depends on concrete impl)
+- Option D: ✔
+- Option E: ✔
+- Option F: ✔
+
+### living without offsets requires parsing
+
+Since CID (and multihash!) are defined using varints, they require parsing;
+we can't just jump into the string at a known offset in order to yield e.g.
+the multicodec number.
+
+In order to get to the 'meat' of the CID (the multihash content), we first
+must parse:
+
+- the CID version varint;
+- the multicodec varint;
+- the multihash type enum varint;
+- and the multihash length varint.
+
+Since there are many applications where we want to jump straight to the
+multihash content (for example, when doing CAS sharding -- see the
+[disclaimer](https://github.com/multiformats/multihash#disclaimers) about
+bias in leading bytes), this overhead may be interesting.
+
+How much this overhead is significant is hard to say from microbenchmarking;
+it depends largely on usage patterns. If these traversals are a significant
+timesink, it would be an argument for Option D/E.
+If these traversals are *not* a significant timesink, we might be wiser
+to keep to Option B/F, because keeping a struct full of offsets will add several
+words of memory usage per CID, and we keep a *lot* of CIDs.
+
+### interfaces cause boxing which is a significant performance cost
+
+See `BenchmarkCidMap_CidStr` and friends.
+
+Long story short: using interfaces *anywhere* will cause the compiler to
+implicitly generate boxing and unboxing code (e.g. `runtime.convT2E`);
+this is both another function call, and more concerningly, results in
+large numbers of unbatchable memory allocations.
+
+Numbers without context are dangerous, but if you need one: 33%.
+It's a big deal.
+
+This means attempts to "use interfaces, but switch to concrete impls when
+performance is important" are a red herring: it doesn't work that way.
+
+This is not a general inditement against using interfaces -- but
+if a situation is at the scale where it's become important to mind whether
+or not pointers are a performance impact, then that situation also
+is one where you have to think twice before using interfaces.
+
+### struct wrappers can be used in place of typedefs with zero overhead
+
+See `TestSizeOf`.
+
+Using the `unsafe.Sizeof` feature to inspect what the Go runtime thinks,
+we can see that `type Foo string` and `type Foo struct{x string}` consume
+precisely the same amount of memory.
+
+This is interesting because it means we can choose between either
+type definition with no significant overhead anywhere we use it:
+thus, we can choose freely between Option B and Option F based on which
+we feel is more pleasant to work with.
+
+Option F (a struct wrapper) means we can prevent casting into our Cid type.
+Option B (typedef string) can be declared a `const`.
+Are there any other concerns that would separate the two choices?
+
+### one way or another: let's get rid of that star
+
+We should switch completely to handling `Cid` and remove `*Cid` completely.
+Regardless of whether we do this by migrating to interface, or string
+implementations, or simply structs with no pointers... once we get there,
+refactoring to any of the *others* can become a no-op from the perspective
+of any downstream code that uses CIDs.
+
+(This means all access via functions, never references to fields -- even if
+we were to use a struct implementation.  *Pretend* there's a interface,
+in other words.)
+
+There are probably `gofix` incantations which can help us with this migration.

cid.go

+// Package cid implements the Content-IDentifiers specification

+// self-describing content-addressed identifiers useful for
+// distributed information systems. CIDs are used in the IPFS
+// (https://ipfs.io) project ecosystem.
+//
+// CIDs have two major versions. A CIDv0 corresponds to a multihash of type
+// DagProtobuf, is deprecated and exists for compatibility reasons. Usually,
+// CIDv1 should be used.
+//
+// A CIDv1 has four parts:
+//
+//     <cidv1> ::= <multibase-prefix><cid-version><multicodec-packed-content-type><multihash-content-address>
+//
+// As shown above, the CID implementation relies heavily on Multiformats,
