Simply Serializes (SSZ)

Parameters

• value (Buffer | array | number | object) Value to serialize: hash32 (Buffer) | address (Buffer) | int8/16/32 | bytes (Buffer) | array | object
• type (string | object) A type string ('hash32', 'address', 'int8', 'int16', 'int32', 'bytes', 'bool', 'hash96', 'hash97'), or type array ['hash32'], or type object containing fields property

Returns Buffer the byte output

deserialize

src/index.js:125-252

Simply Deserializes (SSZ)

Parameters

• data Buffer bytes (buffer) to deserialize
• type (string | object) A type string ('hash32', 'address', 'int8', 'int16', 'int32', 'bytes', 'bool', 'hash96', 'hash97'), or type array ['hash32'], or type object containing fields property

Returns (Buffer | array | number | object) deserialized value : hash32 (Buffer) | address (Buffer) | int8/16/32/64/256 | uint8/16/32/64/256 | bytes (Buffer) | array | object

eq

src/index.js:261-265
