github.com/ipfs/go-cid (go): Package cid implements the Content-IDentifiers specification (https://github.com/ipld/cid) in Go. CIDs are 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:  As shown above, the CID implementation relies heavily on Multiformats, particularly Multibase (https://github.com/multiformats/go-multibase), Multicodec (https://github.com/multiformats/multicodec) and Multihash implementations (https://github.com/multiformats/go-multihash).
