Module compact_size

Variable length integer encoding A.K.A CompactSize.

An integer can be encoded depending on the represented value to save space. Variable length integers always precede an array/vector of a type of data that may vary in length.

Constants

MAX_ENCODABLE_VALUE

The maximum size of a serialized object in bytes or number of elements (for eg vectors) when the size is encoded as CompactSize.

Functions

decode_unchecked

Gets the compact size encoded value from slice and moves slice past the encoding.

encode

Encodes CompactSize without allocating.

encoded_size

Returns the number of bytes used to encode this CompactSize value.
