Package rlp implements the RLP serialization format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The purpose of RLP (Recursive Linear Prefix) qis to encode arbitrarily
|
||
|
|
nested arrays of binary data, and RLP is the main encoding method used
|
||
|
|
to serialize objects in Ethereum. The only purpose of RLP is to encode
|
||
|
|
structure; encoding specific atomic data types (eg. strings, ints,
|
||
|
|
floats) is left up to higher-order protocols; in Ethereum integers
|
||
|
|
must be represented in big endian binary form with no leading zeroes
|
||
|
|
(thus making the integer value zero be equivalent to the empty byte
|
||
|
|
array).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RLP values are distinguished by a type tag. The type tag precedes the
|
||
|
|
value in the input stream and defines the size and kind of the bytes
|
||
|
|
that follow.
