Description

Hi 👋!

I would like to contribute, adding some codecs for the Native and JS platforms. For example, the bytea type can also be converted to JS UInt8Array.

I just have one question regarding the code style of skunk. Those codecs should be included in the core project? Or it is better to have them in their own project, like the circe and refined codecs?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the existing codec implementations and the core, circe, and refined project boundaries. Clarify which Native and JS types are required and whether the work belongs in core or a separate project, then define completion as the requested codecs being implemented in the agreed location.
