Reference

This section gathers family-wide reference material. It is intended for readers who already know roughly what part of the Makrell family they want, and now need terminology, comparisons, or quick answers.

Use this section when you want:

• a quick comparison between implementations and formats

• family-wide terminology

• short answers to common orientation questions

• compatibility entry points for older top-level pages

For deeper normative detail, use the specifications in the repo under specs/.
