## 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
