This library ports Chromium's Pickle class to Dart.
This library provides facilities for basic binary value packing and unpacking.
The Pickle class supports appending primitive values (ints, strings, etc.) to a pickle instance. The Pickle instance grows its internal memory buffer dynamically to hold the sequence of primitive values. The internal memory buffer is exposed as the "data" of the Pickle. This "data" can be passed to a Pickle object to initialize it for reading.
When reading from a Pickle object, it is important for the consumer to know what value types to read and in what order to read them as the Pickle does not keep track of the type of data written to it.
The Pickle's data has a header which contains the size of the Pickle's payload.
This library doesn't have many requirements, so here's what you need:
Dart SDK >=2.18.0
Just run it and now you're ready to rock
dart pub add chromium_pickle
Here is a basic application using pickles
import 'package:chromium_pickle/chromium_pickle.dart';
void main() {
// Create empty pickle
var pickle = Pickle.empty();
// Write value to pickle
pickle.writeInt(25565);
// Create iterator
var iterator = pickle.createIterator();
// Print current pickle value
print(iterator.readInt());
// Print buffer content
print(buffer.toUint8List());
}
