getI8Encoder

const getI8Encoder: () => FixedSizeEncoder<bigint | number, 1>;

Returns an encoder for 8-bit signed integers (i8).

This encoder serializes i8 values using 1 byte. Values can be provided as either number or bigint.

For more details, see getI8Codec.

Returns

FixedSizeEncoder<bigint | number, 1>

A FixedSizeEncoder<number | bigint, 1> for encoding i8 values.

Example

Encoding an i8 value.

const encoder = getI8Encoder();
const bytes = encoder.encode(-42); // 0xd6
