The Push to Ban Ransom Payments Is Gaining Momentum
Ransomware costs victims an estimated $30 billion per year and has gotten so out of control that global support for banning payments is gaining momentum.
Readme
Recursive Length Prefix encoding for Node.js and the browser.
npm install rlp
install with -g
if you want to use the CLI.
import assert from 'assert'
import RLP from 'rlp'
const nestedList = [[], [[]], [[], [[]]]]
const encoded = RLP.encode(nestedList)
const decoded = RLP.decode(encoded)
assert.deepEqual(nestedList, decoded)
RLP.encode(plain)
- RLP encodes an Array
, Uint8Array
or String
and returns a Uint8Array
.
RLP.decode(encoded, [stream=false])
- Decodes an RLP encoded Uint8Array
, Array
or String
and returns a Uint8Array
or NestedUint8Array
. If stream
is enabled, it will just decode the first rlp sequence in the Uint8Array. By default, it would throw an error if there are more bytes in Uint8Array than used by the rlp sequence.
If you would like to continue using Buffers like in rlp v2, you can use:
import assert from 'assert'
import { arrToBufArr, bufArrToArr } from '@ethereumjs/util'
import RLP from 'rlp'
const bufferList = [Buffer.from('123', 'hex'), Buffer.from('456', 'hex')]
const encoded = RLP.encode(bufArrToArr(bufferList))
const encodedAsBuffer = Buffer.from(encoded)
const decoded = RLP.decode(Uint8Array.from(encodedAsBuffer)) // or RLP.decode(encoded)
const decodedAsBuffers = arrToBufArr(decoded)
assert.deepEqual(bufferList, decodedAsBuffers)
rlp encode <JSON string>
rlp decode <0x-prefixed hex string>
rlp encode '5'
-> 0x05
rlp encode '[5]'
-> 0xc105
rlp encode '["cat", "dog"]'
-> 0xc88363617483646f67
rlp decode 0xc88363617483646f67
-> ["cat","dog"]
Tests use mocha.
