How To Install golang-github-tendermint-go-wire-dev on Ubuntu 18.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install golang-github-tendermint-go-wire-dev
on Ubuntu 18.04.
What is golang-github-tendermint-go-wire-dev
golang-github-tendermint-go-wire-dev is:
This software implements Go bindings for the Wire encoding protocol. The goal of the Wire encoding protocol is to be a simple language-agnostic encoding protocol for rapid prototyping of blockchain applications.
- Supported types:
- Primary types: uvarint, varint, byte, uint[8,16,32,64], int[8,16,32,64], string, and time types are supported
- Arrays: Arrays can hold items of any arbitrary type. For example, byte-arrays and byte-array-arrays are supported.
- Structs: Struct fields are encoded by value (without the key name) in the order that they are declared in the struct. In this way it is similar to Apache Avro.
- Interfaces: Interfaces are like union types where the value can be any non-interface type. The actual value is preceded by a single “type byte” that shows which concrete is encoded.
- Pointers: Pointers are like optional fields. The first byte is 0x00 to denote a null pointer (e.g. no value), otherwise it is 0x01.
- Unsupported types:
- Maps: Maps are not supported because for most languages, key orders are nondeterministic. If you need to encode/decode maps of arbitrary key-value pairs, encode an array of {key,value} structs instead.
- Floating points: Floating point number types are discouraged because of reasons. If you need to use them, use the field tag wire:“unsafe”.
- Enums: Enum types are not supported in all languages, and they’re simple enough to model as integers anyways.
A compatible (and slower) JSON codec is included.
This package includes the source code and development files to compile applications.
