# `Stamp.Codec`
[🔗](https://github.com/a3kov/stamp/blob/main/lib/codec.ex#L1)

Stamp codec behaviour.

Modules implementing this behaviour can work as Stamp codecs, converting between
integer and string versions of stamps.

# `decode`

```elixir
@callback decode(String.t()) :: {:ok, integer()} | :error
```

# `decode!`

```elixir
@callback decode!(String.t()) :: integer() | :no_return
```

# `encode`

```elixir
@callback encode(integer()) :: binary()
```
