What is bencode.php ?

bencode.php is a lightweight recursive function for benconding data in PHP. As it's purely functional, it's a bit faster than other libraries but others are good too.

Installation

composer require coste/bencode

Examples

bencode.php acts as a simple polyfill. If you don't have a global 'bencode' function, then you will get one now…

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

echo bencode([
    'hello',
    42,
    [
        'a' => [1, 2, 3],
        'b' => 12.42
    ]
]);
