Open-source alternatives to Scale Codec Js Library

Lightweight, efficient, binary serialization and deserialization codec

This library provides a clean wrapper around all the methods exposed by a Polkadot/Substrate network client and defines all the types exposed by a node. For complete documentation around the interfaces and their use, visit the documentation portal.

Substrate uses a lightweight and efficient encoding and decoding program to optimize how data is sent and received over the network. The program used to serialize and deserialize data is called the SCALE codec, with SCALE being an acronym for Simple Concatenated Aggregate Little-Endian.

SCALE (Simple Concatenated Aggregate Little-Endian) is a lightweight serialization format commonly used in blockchain applications. More details in spec from Polkadot.

Making use of type information this library allows for conversion of SCALE encoded data(wrapped in a scales::Value) to any format that implements Serialize including dynamic types like serde_json::Value for example. The opposite conversion of arbitrary data(e.g. JSON) to SCALE binary format is…
