Typed mutable SSZ views over cached and immutable binary merkle trees

remerkleable

Re-merkle-able: Typed mutable SSZ views over cached and immutable binary Merkle trees.

Features

• Types:

  • custom byte-vector and byte-list view for Python bytes-like behavior

  • bitfields: bitlist, bitvector

  • list, container, vector

  • union

  • basic types

• Functionality:

  • Serialize all types. Into output stream (returning the written count) and as bytes

  • Deserialize all types. From input stream (and scope) and from bytes

  • Hash-tree-root all types

  • Merkle-based data-sharing:

    • every view can be initialized/backed by a binary Merkle tree

    • complex views have backings, and can share data.

    • complex views provide a nice mutable interface, and replace their backing. And this also works for child-views through view-hooks.

    • SSZ-Partials: if a partial proof is loaded as backing, a view can be overlaid, and the partial backing works as long as no excluded branches are accessed.

  • Calculate byte lengths:

    • Type min/max byte length

    • Byte length for fixed-length types

    • Output byte length for a value, without serializing

  • Navigation: construct paths from types, and convert to generalized indices.

  • History: traverse a sequence of nodes, and get the changelog for a given subtree location.
