What is bytewise?

The bytewise npm package is a utility for encoding and decoding data into lexicographically sortable byte arrays. It is particularly useful for creating keys for databases that need to maintain a specific order.

What are bytewise's main functionalities?

Encoding Data

This feature allows you to encode various types of data (e.g., strings, numbers, booleans) into a lexicographically sortable byte array.

const bytewise = require('bytewise');
const encoded = bytewise.encode(['example', 123, true]);
console.log(encoded);

Decoding Data

This feature allows you to decode a previously encoded byte array back into its original data format.

const bytewise = require('bytewise');
const encoded = bytewise.encode(['example', 123, true]);
const decoded = bytewise.decode(encoded);
console.log(decoded);

Custom Encoding

This feature allows you to define custom encoding and decoding logic for specific data types.

const bytewise = require('bytewise');
const customEncoder = bytewise.encodeCustom({ type: 'custom', encode: (x) => Buffer.from(x), decode: (x) => x.toString() });
const encoded = customEncoder.encode('customData');
console.log(encoded);
