Crate scale_encode

scale-encode builds on parity-scale-codec. parity-scale-codec provides an Encode trait which allows types to SCALE encode themselves with no external information. scale-encode provides an EncodeAsType trait which allows types to decide how to encode themselves based on the desired target type.

Structs

Context

A cheaply clonable opaque context which allows us to track the current location into a type that we’re trying to encode, to aid in error reporting.

Error

An error produced while attempting to encode some type.

Enums

ErrorKind

The underlying nature of the error.

Kind

The kind of type that we’re trying to encode.

Traits

EncodeAsType

This trait signals that some static type can possibly be SCALE encoded given some type_id and PortableRegistry which dictates the expected encoding. A Context is also passed around, which is used internally to improve error reporting. Implementations should use the Context::at method to indicate the current location if they would like it to show up in error output.
