(De)serialization functions for the Cardano blockchain along with related utility functions
This is a library, written in Rust, for serialization & deserialization of data structures used in Cardano's Haskell implementation of Alonzo along with useful utility functions.
Note: This package uses weak references flag from wasm-bindgen.
It uses FinalizationRegistry under the hood to automatically call "free" for each CSL struct when it is no longer needed. However, use this feature with caution as it may have unpredictable behaviors.
