Bijou64 (Bijou64 v0.1.0)

Bijou64 is a purely canonical variable length encoding for u64 integers.

Each integer can only be represented by a single encoded value, which aids security if the data is signed.

Summary

u64()

Valid integers are unsigned integers up to 64 bits.

decode(arg)

Decodes valid u64 integers according to the bujou64 format from the start of a binary.

encode(int)

Encodes valid u64 integers according to the bujou64 format.

@type u64() :: 0..18_446_744_073_709_551_615

Valid integers are unsigned integers up to 64 bits.

@spec decode(binary()) :: {u64(), binary()}

Decodes valid u64 integers according to the bujou64 format from the start of a binary.

@spec encode(u64()) :: binary()

Encodes valid u64 integers according to the bujou64 format.
