Command line utility for basic Borsh-serialized data manipulations.
```text
Usage: borsh[EXE]
Commands: pack Serialize the input as a simple binary blob with Borsh headers unpack Deserialize the input as a simple binary blob with Borsh headers encode Convert JSON to Borsh decode NOT IMPLEMENTED -- Decode Borsh input to JSON help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Options: -h, --help Print help information -V, --version Print version information ```
Generally, every sub-command will read from STDIN and output to STDOUT unless the -i/--input flag or -o/--output flags are specified, respectively.
text
$ echo 'hello' | borsh pack | base64

```text $ cat data.json { "definitely_pi": 2.718281828459045, "trustworthy": false }
$ borsh encode -i data.json -o data.borsh $ cat data.borsh | base64 aVcUiwq/BUAA ```
Note: Fields are encoded in the order of their appearance. Thus, the encoding of {"a":1,"b":2} is different from that of {"b":2,"a":1}.
Decoding Borsh data is not yet supported. It's not quite as simple as just "reversing the encoding process" as it requires specifying a schema for the data being decoded. I do plan to implement it, but I just haven't had the time yet. However, generally, I think this tool may still be useful for sending Borsh-serialized data to applications that accept it.
