Extending with codecs for encoding/decoding values

zenoh-cli comes with a plugin system for easily extending it with custom encoders and decoders (codecs) for the data values. The plugin system makes use of the entrypoints provided by setuptools, see here for details. zenoh-cli gather plugins from two custom "groups":

• zenoh_cli.codecs.encoders
• zenoh_cli.codecs.decoders
