Added WebP Support for Image Encoding

disintegration commented 5 years ago

Thank you for the contribution!

As of now imaging imports a few decoding/encoding packages to support opening and saving images using Open and Save helper functions: JPEG, PNG, GIF (using Go standard packages), TIFF, BMP (using golang.org/x/image/* subrepositories). I have no plans on adding more formats to the list.

Adding a new format means adding a new dependency to imaging. I would like to keep external dependencies to the minimum. In addition, the github.com/harukasan/go-libwebp package uses CGO. This would make imaging harder to use for other people.
It's usually trivial to add support for a new image format by using the decoding/encoding package directly. (E.g. use webp.Encode(...) instead of imaging.Encode(...))

@disintegration There is the support of WEBP in golang.org/x/image/webp If you have no time I don't mind to add this package support for you

@demdxx I had seen the package, but it only supports webp decoding. It does not support webp encoding

Yes you are right
