Module encoding

Consensus encoding This module defines a binary encoding interface which is more suitable for consensus critical encoding than e.g. bincode. Over time all structs that need to be encoded to binary will be migrated to this interface.

This code is based on corresponding rust-bitcoin types.

See Encodable and Decodable for two main traits.

Modules

• as_hex
  Serde implementations using hex-encoded encodables

Structs

• BigSize
  Lightning TLV uses a custom variable-length integer called BigSize. It is similar to Bitcoin’s variable-length integers except that it is serialized in big-endian instead of little-endian.
• CountWrite
  A writer counting number of writes written to it
• DecodeError

Enums

• DynRawFallback
  A type that decodes module_instance_id-prefixed Ts even when corresponding Decoder is not available.

Constants

• MAX_DECODE_SIZE
  Maximum size, in bytes, of data we are allowed to ever decode for a single value.

Traits

• Decodable
  Data which can be encoded in a consensus-consistent way
• DynEncodable
  Object-safe trait for things that can encode themselves
• Encodable
  Data which can be encoded in a consensus-consistent way
