Crate rlp

Recursive Length Prefix serialization crate.

Allows encoding, decoding, and view onto rlp-slice

What should you use when?

Use encode function when:

• You want to encode something inline.
• You do not work on big set of data.
• You want to encode whole data structure at once.

Use decode function when:

• You want to decode something inline.
• You do not work on big set of data.
• You want to decode whole rlp at once.

Use RlpStream when:

• You want to encode something in portions.
• You encode a big set of data.

Use Rlp when:

• You need to handle data corruption errors.
• You are working on input data.
• You want to get view onto rlp-slice.
• You don’t want to decode whole rlp at once.
