Package Exports

signed-varint

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 (signed-varint) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

signed-varint

store signed integers efficiently, as per protocol-buffers.

For unsigned integers use varint.

Integers are mapped to positive integers, so that positive integers become positive even numbers (n2) and negative integers become positive odd numbers. (n-2 - 1)

This is the same as moving the sign bit from the most significant possition to the least significant. Otherwise, varint will encode negative numbers as large integers.

var varint = require('varint')
var svarint = require('signed-varint')

console.log('unsigned', varint.encode(-1))
console.log('signed', svarint.encode(-1))

//=> unsigned [255,255,255, 15]
//   signed [1]
