# transient-0
transient-0 is a binary encoding of hobgoblin data is for transient data where
forwards and backwards compatibility is not required, such as IPC between
different instances of the same program.
The encoder and decoder must use the same version of hobgoblin and the same data
definitions for decoding to succeed.
transient-0 does not support:
* Compatibility between different versions of hobgoblin. The exact encoding is
an implementation detail that may change between any two versions of
hobgoblin.
* Compatibility between different data definitions. For instance, if a field is
added to a struct, there is no guarantee that data encoded before the field
was added can be decoded using the new data definition.
