What is rlp?

The 'rlp' npm package is used for encoding and decoding data using the Recursive Length Prefix (RLP) encoding scheme, which is commonly used in Ethereum and other blockchain technologies. RLP is a method to encode arbitrarily nested arrays of binary data, and it is particularly useful for serializing data structures in a compact and efficient manner.

What are rlp's main functionalities?

Encoding Data

This feature allows you to encode an array of data into RLP format. In this example, the array ['cat', 'dog'] is encoded into its RLP representation.

const rlp = require('rlp');
const encoded = rlp.encode(['cat', 'dog']);
console.log(encoded);

Decoding Data

This feature allows you to decode RLP-encoded data back into its original form. In this example, the RLP-encoded buffer is decoded back into the array ['cat', 'dog'].

const rlp = require('rlp');
const encoded = Buffer.from('c88363617483646f67', 'hex');
const decoded = rlp.decode(encoded);
console.log(decoded);
