# fountain_engine

Core algorithms for fountain code encoding and decoding.

## What It Provides

- **Encoder / Decoder**: Generic fountain code encoder and decoder that work with any code scheme implementing the `CodeScheme` trait.
- **Traits**: `CodeScheme` and `DataOperator` — implement these to define custom fountain codes and data backends.

## Architecture

The engine is data-free by design. Instead of operating on data directly, the encoder and decoder emit a sequence of `Operation` values that a `DataOperator` executes on actual data vectors. This separation enables:

- In-memory operation (`VecDataOperater` in `fountain_utility`)
- I/O logging (`IoDataOperator` in `fountain_utility`)
- Network streaming or any custom backend
