Canonical output?

[copumpkin]

The main capnproto website mentions a canonicalization algorithm. Does this package implement that, or otherwise output serialized data in a canonical manner?

[dwrensha]

No, capnproto-java does not yet implement canonicalization.

As far as I know, the only canonicalizer in any language is @amluto's, which i think is in c++, and may not in fact have actually been released yet.

Ah, okay, thanks!

I am interested in creating this capability, are pull requests being accepting to this project?

[dwrensha]

Yes, I would review a pull request that added canonicalization.
Sine the last comment above, both capnproto-c++ and capnproto-rust have gained canonicalization.

[codepilot]

Awesome, we are trying to use canonicalization here Xilinx/fpga24_routing_contest#35

I will get started on it.

For what it's worth, here's the commit where canonicalization support was first added to capnproto-rust: capnproto/capnproto-rust@3206531

Thanks, that will be helpful
