README

Varint streams can be used to delimit binary messages without expending the stream size significantly. They are especially useful for message formats without inherent delimiting (e.g. protobuf).

Usage

Decoding a stream as strings

use Cjm\Varint\Stream\Decoder;

$decoder = Decoder::fromPath('php://stdin');

foreach($decoder->strings() as $string) {
   // do something with the message
}
