python-rencode

Arbitrary data encoder/decoder that matches python rencode.

Usage

npm install python-rencode

const { encode, decode } = require('python-rencode');
 
// Could be basically any data that would convert correctly to JSON
const thing = 1;
 
// Encode some data into a Buffer
const encoded = encode(thing);
 
// Decode a Buffer into some data
const decoded = decode(encoded);

Install as Git Dependency

If you'd rather not use the versions published to npm, you can easily install from github directly with:

npm install cinderblock/python-rencode         # Defaults to master 
npm install cinderblock/python-rencode#branch  # Use a named branch 
npm install cinderblock/python-rencode#v1.4.0  # Use a tagged version 
npm install cinderblock/python-rencode#hash    # Use a hash directly
