[][src]Crate rlp

Recursive Length Prefix serialization crate.

Allows encoding, decoding, and view onto rlp-slice

What should you use when?

Use encode 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 need to handle data corruption errors.
  • You are working on input data.
  • You want to get view onto rlp-slice.
  • You don't want to decode whole rlp at once.
