Function Encode

rlp/encode.go:53–66

Encode writes the RLP encoding of val to w. Note that Encode may perform many small writes in some cases. Consider making w buffered. Please see package-level documentation of encoding rules.

(w io.Writer, val interface{})

//
// Please see package-level documentation of encoding rules.
func Encode(w io.Writer, val interface{}) error {
	if outer, ok := w.(*encbuf); ok {
		// Encode was called by some type's EncodeRLP.
		// Avoid copying by writing to the outer encbuf directly.
		return outer.encode(val)
	}
	eb := encbufPool.Get().(*encbuf)
	defer encbufPool.Put(eb)
	eb.reset()
	if err := eb.encode(val); err != nil {
		return err
	}
	return eb.toWriter(w)
}

// EncodeToBytes returns the RLP encoding of val.
