GLBEncode is a Gleam library for encoding and decoding Bencode data. Bencode is a simple encoding format used by the BitTorrent protocol for storing and transmitting loosely structured data.
- Parsing: Convert Bencode data into an intermediate representation.
- Encoding: Convert the intermediate representation back into Bencode format.
- Decoding: Convert the intermediate representation into dynamic Gleam types for further processing.
To use GLBEncode in your Gleam project, add it to your gleam.toml dependencies:
[dependencies]
glbencode = "1.0.0"You can parse Bencode data from a string or a byte array:
import glbencode
import gleam/result.{Ok, Error}
let bencode_string = "d3:cow3:moo4:spam4:eggse"
let parsed = glbencode.parse(bencode_string)
case parsed {
Ok(value) -> // Handle the parsed value
Error(error) -> // Handle the error
}You can encode data into Bencode format:
import glbencode/encode
let encoder = encode.new()
let encoder = encode.dictionary(encoder, fn(_) {
dict.from_list([#("cow", encode.string_value("moo")), #("spam", encode.string_value("eggs"))])
})
let encoded = encode.encode(encoder)
case encoded {
Ok(bytes) -> // Handle the encoded bytes
Error(error) -> // Handle the error
}You can decode Bencode data into dynamic Gleam types:
import glbencode
import gleam/dynamic/decode as dyn_decoder
let bencode_string = "d3:cow3:moo4:spam4:eggse"
let parsed = glbencode.parse(bencode_string)
case parsed {
Ok(value) -> {
let decoder = dyn_decoder.string()
let decoded = glbencode.decode(value, decoder)
// Handle the decoded value
}
Error(error) -> // Handle the error
