compact-encoding-python

Pure-Python port of compact-encoding, wire-compatible with the JavaScript implementation. All multi-byte values are little-endian.

Usage

import compact_encoding as cenc

data = cenc.encode(cenc.uint, 42)     # -> bytes
n = cenc.decode(cenc.uint, data)      # -> 42

Codecs

uint, uint32, int, utf8 (alias string), bool, buffer.

Three-phase API

import compact_encoding as cenc

state = cenc.State()
cenc.uint.preencode(state, 42)
cenc.utf8.preencode(state, "hi")
state.allocate()
cenc.uint.encode(state, 42)
cenc.utf8.encode(state, "hi")
