Module Encoding.Variable

Create encodings that produce data of a variable length when binary encoded. See the preamble for an explanation.

val string : string encoding
val string' : string_json_repr -> string encoding
val bytes : Stdlib.Bytes.t encoding
val bytes' : string_json_repr -> Stdlib.Bytes.t encoding
val bigstring : ?string_json_repr:string_json_repr -> unit -> bigstring encoding
val array : ?max_length:int -> 'a encoding -> 'a array encoding
  • raises Invalid_argument

    if the encoding argument is variable length or may lead to zero-width representation in binary.

val list : ?max_length:int -> 'a encoding -> 'a list encoding
  • raises Invalid_argument

    if the encoding argument is variable length or may lead to zero-width representation in binary.
