Rust implementation of the SCALE (Simple Concatenated Aggregate Little-Endian) data format for types used in the Parity Substrate framework. SCALE is a light-weight format which allows encoding (and decoding) which makes it highly suitable for resource-constrained execution environments like blockchain runtimes and low-power, low-memory devices. It is important to note that the encoding context (knowledge of how the types and data structures look) needs to be known separately at both encoding and decoding ends. The encoded data does not include this contextual information. To get a better understanding of how the encoding is done for different types, take a look at the low-level data formats overview page at the Substrate docs site.
