# Encoding

Domain: `encoding`

Binary format detection, encoding conversion, entropy analysis, and raw protobuf decoding.

## Profiles

- workflow
- full

## Typical scenarios

- Identify unknown payload formats
- Convert between encodings
- Decode schema-less protobuf payloads

## Common combinations

- network + encoding
