Backends are provided to both binary and JSON. This works by writing type descriptors by hand, using the provided combinators. These combinators can fine-tune the binary representation to be compact and efficient, but also provide proper field names and meta information, so the API of Tezos can be automatically introspected and documented. Here is an example encoding for type [(int * string)]. [let enc = obj2 (req "code" uint16) (req "message" string)] In JSON, this encoding maps values of type [int * string] to JSON objects with a field [code] whose value is a number and a field [message] whose value is a string. In binary, this encoding maps to two raw bytes for the [int] followed by the size of the string in bytes, and finally the raw contents of the string. This binary format is mostly tagless, meaning that serialized data cannot be interpreted without the encoding that was used for serialization. Regarding binary serialization, encodings are classified as either: - fixed size (booleans, integers, numbers) data is always the same size for that type ; - dynamically sized (arbitrary strings and bytes) data is of unknown size and requires an explicit length field ; - variable size (special case of strings, bytes, and arrays) data makes up the remainder of an object of known size, thus its size is given by the context, and does not have to be serialized. JSON operations are delegated to [ocplib-json-typed]. *) (** {2 Module structure} This [Data_encoding] module provides muliple submodules: - [Encoding] contains the necessary types and constructors for making the type descriptors. - [Json], [Bson], and [Binary] contain functions to serialize and deserialize values. *) module Encoding: sig (** The type descriptors for values of type ['a]. *) type 'a t type 'a encoding = 'a t (** {3 Ground descriptors} *) (** Special value [null] in JSON, nothing in binary. *) val null : unit encoding (** Empty object (not included in binary, encoded as empty object in JSON). *) val empty : unit encoding (** Unit value, ommitted in binary.
