The only purpose of RLP is to encode +structure; encoding specific atomic data types (eg. strings, ints, +floats) is left up to higher-order protocols; in Ethereum integers +must be represented in big endian binary form with no leading zeroes +(thus making the integer value zero be equivalent to the empty byte +array). + +RLP values are distinguished by a type tag. The type tag precedes the +value in the input stream and defines the size and kind of the bytes +that follow. +*/ +package rlp |
