bitcoin-blob

bitcoin-blob is a highly specialized Rust library designed to handle fixed-size, opaque byte arrays known as blobs. It provides extensive functionality for iterating, serializing, deserializing, hex encoding/decoding, and more.

Features

• Flexible Blob Definitions: Define blobs of arbitrary bit/byte sizes using powerful macros.
• Iterators: Seamlessly iterate over blob data in mutable and immutable forms.
• Serialization: Robust functionality to serialize blobs to and from streams.
• Hex Utilities: Convert blobs to hexadecimal strings and vice versa.
• Typical Operations: Includes utility methods for checking if blobs are null, comparing blobs, and basic byte-level manipulations.
• Deterministic RNG: Includes a simple RNG for deterministic testing purposes.

Usage

Below is an example of how to define and use a 256-bit blob:

#[macro_use]
extern crate bitcoin_blob;

base_blob!(BaseBlob256, 256, 32);

fn main() {
    let mut blob = BaseBlob256::zero();
    blob.set_hex_from_str("abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890");
    println!("Hex: {}", blob.to_string());
}

For comprehensive examples and detailed information on each macro, refer to the documentation.
