Dependencies

Data & Value Encoding

There are separate traits for handling encoded data and encoded values.

The src/data folder holds the traits: Encoder, StringEncoder, Decoder and Validator. These traits provide an interface for encoders that operate on byte slices, such as base-64 & hex.

The src/value folder holds the traits: EncodedLen, EncodeToSlice, EncodeToWrite etc. These traits provide an interface for values that know how to encode and decode themselves such as var-int.

Future

The following improvements are planned but not in progress:

• Adding better tests, including fuzzing.
• Improving performance, it is already good but could use SIMD.
• Chunked or partial encoding, to help avoid allocating buffers.
• Adding better testing utilities, especially for data.
• Add more encodings, current priorities are base-32, 36, & 62.

Please ask if you need any of the above, I am also happy to take PRs.
