Documentation

Overview

Package hexutil implements hex encoding with 0x prefix. This encoding is used by the Ethereum RPC API to transport binary data in JSON payloads.

Encoding Rules

All hex data must have prefix "0x".

For byte slices, the hex data must be of even length. An empty byte slice encodes as "0x".

Integers are encoded using the least amount of digits (no leading zero digits). Their encoding may be of uneven length. The number zero encodes as "0x0".

func EncodeUint64

func EncodeUint64(i uint64) string

EncodeUint64 encodes i as a hex string with 0x prefix.

func MustDecode

func MustDecode(input string) []byte

MustDecode decodes a hex string with 0x prefix. It panics for invalid input.

func MustDecodeBig

func MustDecodeBig(input string) *big.Int

MustDecodeBig decodes a hex string with 0x prefix as a quantity. It panics for invalid input.

func MustDecodeUint64

func MustDecodeUint64(input string) uint64

MustDecodeUint64 decodes a hex string with 0x prefix as a quantity. It panics for invalid input.

func UnmarshalFixedJSON

func UnmarshalFixedJSON(typ reflect.Type, input, out []byte) error

UnmarshalFixedJSON decodes the input as a string with 0x prefix. The length of out determines the required input length. This function is commonly used to implement the UnmarshalJSON method for fixed-size types.

func UnmarshalFixedText

func UnmarshalFixedText(typname string, input, out []byte) error

UnmarshalFixedText decodes the input as a string with 0x prefix. The length of out determines the required input length. This function is commonly used to implement the UnmarshalText method for fixed-size types.

Example

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/common/hexutil"
)

type MyType [5]byte

func (v *MyType) UnmarshalText(input []byte) error {
	return hexutil.UnmarshalFixedText("MyType", input, v[:])
}

func (v MyType) String() string {
	return hexutil.Bytes(v[:]).String()
}

func main() {
	var v1, v2 MyType
	fmt.Println("v1 error:", json.Unmarshal([]byte(`"0x01"`), &v1))
	fmt.Println("v2 error:", json.Unmarshal([]byte(`"0x0101010101"`), &v2))
	fmt.Println("v2:", v2)
}

Output:

v1 error: hex string has length 2, want 10 for MyType
v2 error: <nil>
v2: 0x0101010101

func UnmarshalFixedUnprefixedText

func UnmarshalFixedUnprefixedText(typname string, input, out []byte) error

UnmarshalFixedUnprefixedText decodes the input as a string with optional 0x prefix. The length of out determines the required input length. This function is commonly used to implement the UnmarshalText method for fixed-size types.
