Text Encoding

  • The Text Encoding is an encoding that is used by the Astral Network.
  • The Text Encoding encodes its payload using Base64 encoding.
  • The Text Encoding can have a type-specific encoding of the payload, which must be specified in the documentation of the Object Type.
  • The Text Encoding can be used to encode objects as Query parameters.
  • The Text Encoding is done by concatenating the following:
    • A string with the format "#[{OBJECT_TYPE}]", for example "#[uint32]".
    • A single character indicating the encoding type: ":" for Base64, " " for type-specific encoding.
    • The encoded payload.
  • The Text Encoding of an Untyped Object is "#[]:" followed by the Base64-encoded Payload.
