Simple Serialize

Package Exports

  • @chainsafe/ssz

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@chainsafe/ssz) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Usage

In order to properly serialize/deserialize/hash values, we need both the value and the "type" of the value.

Types

The simple serialization spec operates over a few specific types. Types are either specified in a simplified form (eg: "uint32") or an extended form (eg: {type: Type.uint, byteLength: 4, offset: 0, useNumber: false}). In most cases, the simplified form suffices.

Uint

A uint serialization value may be either a js number or a BN from bn.js. A uint type is specified by either "uintN" or "numberN", where N is the number of bits to serialize. uintN > 48 bits is deserialized to a BN else deserialized to a number. Every numberN is deserialized to a number.

Boolean

A boolean serialization value must be either true or false. Anything other input will throw an Error. The boolean type is specified as "bool".

Vector

A "vector" according to the spec is a fixed-length list with every element of the same type. A vector serialization value may be either an Array or Buffer. Vector types are specified as either "bytesN" or [elementType, vectorlength] bytesN is deserialized to Buffer. [elementType, vectorLength] is deserialized to Array<elementType> unless elementType is byte, when the value is deserialized to Buffer.

List

A "list" according to the spec is a list of unspecified length with every element of the same type. A list serialization value may be either an Array or Buffer. Tuple types are specified as either "bytes" or [elementType] bytes is deserialized to Buffer. [elementType] is deserialized to Array<elementType> unless elementType is byte, when the value is deserialized to Buffer.

Container

A "container" according to the spec is a collection of values where the type of each element may differ. A container serialization value must be an Object. The container serialization type must be an Object, with a string name, and a fields value of `Array<[fieldName, fieldType]>.

Extended form

See FullSSZType in src/types.ts for more information.
