SCALE
Types
| golang | notes |
|---|---|
| []byte | length prefixed byte array with length as u32 compact integer |
| string | same as []byte |
| [...]byte | appended to the result |
| bool | 1 byte, 0 for false, 1 for true |
| Object{} | concatenation of fields |
| *Object{} | Option. 0 for nil, 1 for Object{}. if 1 - decode Object{} |
| uint8 | compact u8 [TODO no need for compact u8] |
| uint16 | compact u16 |
| uint32 | compact u32 |
| uint32 | compact u64 |
| [...]Object | array with objects. encoded by consecutively encoding every object |
| []Object | slice with objects. prefixed with compact u32 |
Not implemented:
- pointers to arrays and slices
- slices with pointers
- enumerations
- fixed width integers
Code generation
go install ./scalegen//go:generate scalegen will discover all struct types and derive EncodeScale/DecodeScale methods. To avoid structs autodiscovery use -types=U8,U16.
