@polkadot/util-rlp
==================

Utility methods for encoding and decoding [Ethereum RLP structures](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/%5BEnglish%5D-RLP). This is port adapted from the original [EthereumJS RLP](https://github.com/ethereumjs/rlp/blob/0ce09db81fc303fcee593f7cc094ba44015f9b92/index.js) implementation to cater for `Uint8Array` outputs (instead of `Buffer`) in addition to typings.

Usage
-----

Installation -

```
yarn add @polkadot/util-rlp
```

Functions can be imported as follows:

```js
import { decode } from '@polkadot/util-rlp';
import { encode } from '@polkadot/util-rlp';
```
