ESLint is Now Language-Agnostic: Linting JSON, Markdown, and Beyond
ESLint has added JSON and Markdown linting support with new officially-supported plugins, expanding its versatility beyond JavaScript.
@ethersproject/rlp
Advanced tools
@ethersproject/rlp is a package from the ethers.js library that provides functionality for encoding and decoding data using Recursive Length Prefix (RLP) encoding, which is commonly used in Ethereum for serializing data.
RLP Encoding
This feature allows you to encode an array of data into RLP format. In this example, the array ['hello', 'world'] is encoded into its RLP representation.
const { RLP } = require('@ethersproject/rlp');
const encoded = RLP.encode(['hello', 'world']);
console.log(encoded);
RLP Decoding
This feature allows you to decode RLP-encoded data back into its original form. In this example, the RLP-encoded string '0xc68468656c6c6f83676f6f64' is decoded back into the array ['hello', 'world'].
const { RLP } = require('@ethersproject/rlp');
const encoded = '0xc68468656c6c6f83676f6f64';
const decoded = RLP.decode(encoded);
console.log(decoded);
The 'rlp' package provides similar functionality for encoding and decoding data using RLP. It is a standalone package and is widely used in the Ethereum ecosystem. Compared to @ethersproject/rlp, it is more focused on RLP encoding/decoding and does not come with the additional utilities provided by ethers.js.
The 'ethereumjs-util' package is a utility library for Ethereum, which includes RLP encoding and decoding among many other features. It is more comprehensive than @ethersproject/rlp, offering a wide range of utilities for Ethereum development, but it may be more complex to use if you only need RLP functionality.
This sub-module is part of the ethers project.
It contains functions for encoding and decoding RLP data.
For more information, see the documentation.
Most users will prefer to use the umbrella package, but for those with more specific needs, individual components can be imported.
const {
encode,
decode
} = require("@ethersproject/rlp");
