scodec-bits | Provides immutable datatypes for working with bits and bytes | Learning library

scodec-bits is a Scala library typically used in Tutorial, Learning, Example Codes applications. scodec-bits has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

There are two fundamental data structures provided: - [BitVector] core/shared/src/main/scala/scodec/bits/BitVector.scala) - [ByteVector] core/shared/src/main/scala/scodec/bits/ByteVector.scala). Both datatypes provide collection like functionality, although neither directly implement the Scala collection library traits. Both are implemented as binary trees where each node is either a leaf node containing bits/bytes or is an inner node containing an operation on other trees (e.g., append). As a result, many operations are implemented in logarithmic time with respect to the depth of the tree. Both strict and lazy constructors are provided. Of particular interest are the methods that work with Java NIO sources like java.nio.channels.ReadableByteChannel and java.nio.channels.FileChannel, which allow efficient, lazy access and manipulation of bits and bytes from a variety of sources.
