nostr-types is a crate defining types useful for the nostr protocol.
We wrap all basic types. An i64 may or may not be a Unixtime. A &str might
be a hex encoded private key, or it might be somebody's name. By using types for
everything, common mistakes can be avoided.
We have extensive serde implementations for all types which are not simple to serialize such as Tag.
Private keys remember if you've seen them or imported them and set themselves to Weak if
you have. Generated private keys start out as Medium. We don't support Strong yet
which will require a hardware token. (Note: there are ways to leak a private key without
it knowing, so if it says Medium that is the maximum security, not a guaranteed level
of security). Private keys can be imported and exported in a password-keyed encrypted form
without weakening their security.
Basic functionality is coded for the following NIPs. Be aware that we only provide types, so a lot of NIP content is not applicable.
