## rlp


TERMINOLOGY:

```
RLP string = "Blob" // this is so we don't conflict with existing go name for String
RLP list = "List" // luckily we can keep using list name since go doesn't use it
RLP single byte number = "Decimal" // for numbers from 1-127. a special case
```
rlp2 (#8643) rlp2 is a package that aims to replace the existing erigon-lib/rlp package and the erigon/common/rlp it is called rlp2 for now because it requires breaking changes to erigon-lib/rlp and i do not have the time right now to test all current uses of such functions however, the encoder/decoder characteristics of rlp2 might be desirable for caplin, and also for execution layer parsing blob txns, so im putting it in a folder called rlp2 (note that it exports package rlp for easier switching later) importantly, rlp2 is designed for single-pass decoding with the ability to skip elements one does not care about. it also is zero alloc. 2023-11-04 02:22:11 +00:00			`## rlp`
