An implementation of the ETH2.0 Simple Serialize (SSZ) specification, for .NET Core (written in C#).
For details of the specification, see https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/dev/specs/simple-serialize.md
Supports serialization and Merkleization for uint8 (byte), uint16 (ushort), uint32 (uint), uint64 (ulong), boolean, containers, vectors, lits, bitvector, and bitlist.
Functionality is via SSZ element wrappers, that can be easily created from values and objects. See the tests for examples. There is no automatic (reflection-based) serialization, or built-in support for streams yet (serialization just returns a byte span).
Does not yet support uint128, uint256, or union types. Does not yet support deserialization.
Does not support self-signed containers directly, although you can readily get the hash root of the truncated values, i.e. the signing root.
- .NET Core 3.0 development tools
To compile and run the unit tests:
dotnet test test/Cortex.SimpleSerialize.Tests --verbosity normal
- PowerShell Core, to run build scripts
- An editor, e.g. VS Code, if you want to contribute
To run tests and then build a release package, with a gitversion based version number:
./build.ps1
The NuGet package will be created at:
src\Cortex.SimpleSerialize\bin\Release\Cortex.SimpleSerialize.<ver>.nupkg'.
Pull requests welcome, but will need to align with the project direction to be accepted.
