# Size

Size allows to store integers in a relatively compact format compared to others under sd.number at the cost of performance.

As its name sugests, it is best used for storing the size of a payload, like sd.string or sd.bytes. It was implemented for extensibility and compatiblity with other specifications such as Apache Avro and Google Protocol Buffers.

# Variants

  • sd.size for signed integers.
  • sd.usize for unsigned integers.

# Usage

Creating an Apache Avro string.

const { toBytes, fromBytes } = sd.string(sd.utf8, sd.size);

# Specifications

sd.usize implements the variable integer encoding. sd.size wraps sd.usize to add negative numbers.
