XorName is an array that is useful for calculations in DHT

MaidSafe website SAFE Network Forum

Serialization

XorName and Prefix are serialized into a human-readable hex string, instead of as a u8 array. This is enabled by default, with the serialize-hex feature. This also allows for these structures to be serialised when used as a key in a map like HashMap, because most formats only allow keys to be strings, instead of more complex types.

A struct like this:

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct MyStruct {
    prefix: Prefix,
    xor_name: XorName,
}

Will yield this JSON

{
  "prefix": "10001101110001111100101000111001101101111101111010011001",
  "xor_name": "8dc7ca39b7de990eb943fd64854776dd85aa82c33a4269693c57b36e0749ed8f"
}

instead of

{
    "prefix": {
        "bit_count": 56,
        "name": [141,199,202,57,183,222,153,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
    },
    "xor_name": [141,199,202,57,183,222,153,14,185,67,253,100,133,71,118,221,133,170,130,195,58,66,105,105,60,87,179,110,7,73,237,143]
}
