function when:
- You want to encode something inline.
- You do not work on big set of data.
- You want to encode whole data structure at once.
Use decode
function when:
- You want to decode something inline.
- You do not work on big set of data.
- You want to decode whole rlp at once.
Use RlpStream
when:
- You want to encode something in portions.
- You encode a big set of data.
Use Rlp
when:
- You are working on trusted data (not corrupted).
- You want to get view onto rlp-slice.
- You don't want to decode whole rlp at once.
Use UntrustedRlp
when:
- You are working on untrusted data (~corrupted).
- You need to handle data corruption errors.
- You are working on input data.
