## Simple serialization - an alternative to RLP that's much simpler.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### The spec:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
encode(string) = enc3b(len(string)) + string
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Where `enc3b(x)` encodes `x` as three bytes, in big-endian format
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
encode(list) = enc3b(8388608 + sum(len([encode(x) for x in list]))) + \
|
||
|
|
b''.join([encode(x) for x in list])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And that's it!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Examples:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cow -> \x00\x00\x03cow
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[dog, horse] -> \x80\x00\x0e\x00\x00\x03dog\x00\x00\x05horse
