Implementation
Approach
- this version tries to stay as close to the original Rust version in intent, function names & purpose
- it is a basic port of the Rust version, relying on effectively the same test-suite (expanded where deemed appropriate)
- it is meant as a library to be used in other projects, i.e. @parity/api
Differences to original Rust version
- internally the library operates on string binary representations as opposed to Vector bytes, lengths are therefore 64 bytes as opposed to 32 bytes
- function names are adapted from the Rust standard snake_case to the JavaScript standard camelCase
- due to the initial library focus, the cli component (as implemented by the original) is not supported nor implemented
