Expand description
Provides encoding (serialization) and decoding (deserialization) in the SimpleSerialize (SSZ) format designed for use in Ethereum 2.0.
Adheres to the Ethereum 2.0 SSZ specification at v0.12.1.
Example
use ssz_derive::{Encode, Decode};
use ssz::{Decode, Encode};
#[derive(PartialEq, Debug, Encode, Decode)]
struct Foo {
a: u64,
b: Vec<u16>,
}
fn ssz_encode_decode_example() {
let foo = Foo {
a: 42,
b: vec![1, 3, 3, 7]
};
let ssz_bytes: Vec<u8> = foo.as_ssz_bytes();
let decoded_foo = Foo::from_ssz_bytes(&ssz_bytes).unwrap();
assert_eq!(foo, decoded_foo);
}
See examples/
for manual implementations of the Encode
and Decode
traits.
Modules
Provides a “legacy” version of SSZ encoding for
Option<T> where T: Encode + Decode
.Macros
Structs
Decodes some slices of SSZ into object instances. Should be instantiated using
SszDecoderBuilder
.Builds an
SszDecoder
.Allow for encoding an ordered series of distinct or indistinct objects as SSZ bytes.
Provides the one-byte “selector” from the SSZ union specification:
Enums
Returned when SSZ decoding fails.
Constants
The number of bytes used to represent an offset.
The number of bytes used to indicate the variant of a union.
The maximum value that can be represented using
BYTES_PER_LENGTH_OFFSET
.The highest possible union selector value (higher values are reserved for backwards compatible
extensions).
Traits
Provides SSZ decoding (de-serialization) via the
from_ssz_bytes(&bytes)
method.Provides SSZ encoding (serialization) via the
as_ssz_bytes(&self)
method.Partial variant of
std::iter::FromIterator
.Functions
Decodes
bytes
as if it were a list of variable-length items.Encode
len
as a little-endian byte array of BYTES_PER_LENGTH_OFFSET
length.Reads a
BYTES_PER_LENGTH_OFFSET
-byte length from bytes
, where bytes.len() >= BYTES_PER_LENGTH_OFFSET
.Takes
bytes
, assuming it is the encoding for a SSZ union, and returns the union-selector and
the body (trailing bytes).Convenience function to SSZ encode an object supporting ssz::Encode.
