SYNOPSIS

LEB128 encoding and decoding for signed and unsinged intergers. Supports arbitary length intergers larger then Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER

INSTALL

npm install pull-leb128

USAGE

const leb = require('leb128')
const pull = require('pull-stream')
const Pushable = require('pull-pushable')
const Reader = require('pull-reader')

const writer = Pushable()
const reader = Reader()
pull(writer, reader)

leb.unsigned.encode('9019283812387', writer)
leb.unsigned.read(reader).then(decoded => {
   console.log(decoded)
  // 9019283812387
})

API

Use require('leb128/signed') for signed encoding and decoding and require('leb128/unsigned') for unsigned methods
