External Text Format is the format Erlang uses when sending and receiving data. This module implements packing and unpacking of said format in pure, native JavaScript.
This module is plug-and-play, it exposes two functions, pack and unpack, and would be used in the following way:
const { pack, unpack } = require('etf.js');
const serialized = pack({ hello: 'world' });
const deserialized = unpack(serialized);
console.log(deserialized); // { hello: 'world' }- Null (Primitive Tests)
