# simpleserialize (ssz)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a **work-in-progress** crate designed to perform the "simpleserialize"
|
||
|
|
serialization described by Vitalik Buterin. The method is tentatively intended
|
||
|
|
for use in the Ethereum Beacon Chain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are two primary sources for this spec, and they are presently
|
||
|
|
conflicting:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The ethereum/beacon_chain reference implementation [simpleserialize.py](https://github.com/ethereum/beacon_chain/blob/master/beacon_chain/utils/simpleserialize.py) file.
|
||
|
|
- The [py_ssz module](https://github.com/ethereum/research/tree/master/py_ssz)
|
||
|
|
in ethereum/research.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This implementation is presently a placeholder until the final spec is decided.
|
||
|
|
Do not rely upon it for reference.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## TODO
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Wait for spec to finalize.
|
||
|
|
- Implement encoding for all useful types.
|
||
|
|
- Implement decoding.
