aion-rlp v0.0.1

SYNOPSIS

INSTALL

npm install aion-rlp

install with -g if you want to use the cli.

USAGE

var RLP = require('aion-rlp');
var assert = require('assert');

var nestedList = [ [], [[]], [ [], [[]] ] ];
var encoded = RLP.encode(nestedList);
var decoded = RLP.decode(encoded);
assert.deepEqual(nestedList, decoded);

API

rlp.encode(plain) - RLP encodes an Array, Buffer or String and returns a Buffer.

rlp.decode(encoded, [skipRemainderCheck=false]) - Decodes an RLP encoded Buffer, Array or String and returns a Buffer or an Array of Buffers. If skipRemainderCheck is enabled, rlp will just decode the first rlp sequence in the buffer. By default, it would throw an error if there are more bytes in Buffer than used by rlp sequence.

The difference between aion-rlp and rlp is the alternative encoding of longs, therefore rlp.encode(plain) accepts an extra type AionLong, in addition to the base supported types.

CLI

rlp decode <hex string>
rlp encode <json String>
