This is an implementation of Bencode for Java. Bencode is used for DHTs, Torrents, and Google DataServers. Its a lightweight fast data serialization. Wikipedia
I have also made an implementation of Bencode with Rust, JavaScript and PHP.
Here are some examples of this library compared to other major data serialization methods.
Serialization / Encoding
| Method | Time in Mills |
|---|---|
| Bencode | 57 |
| JSON | 230 |
Parsing
| Method | Time in Mills |
|---|---|
| Bencode | 83 |
| JSON | 281 |
Byte Size when encoded
| Method | Bytes |
|---|---|
| Bencode | 10134606 |
| JSON | 51538417 |
The JAR for the library can be found here: Bencode JAR
Here are some examples of how to use the Bencode library.
Bencode Array
//FROM LIST
ArrayList<String> l = new ArrayList<>();
BencodeArray bar = new BencodeArray(l);
//FROM BYTES
byte[] b; //ARRAY OF BYTES
BencodeArray bar = new BencodeArray(b);
//CREATE BENCODE
BencodeArray bar = new BencodeArray();Bencode Object | Map
//FROM MAP
HashMap<String, String> l = new HashMap<>();
BencodeObject bob = new BencodeObject(l);
//FROM BYTES
byte[] b; //ARRAY OF BYTES
BencodeObject bob = new BencodeObject(b);
//CREATE BENCODE
BencodeObject bob = new BencodeObject();Put | Get data
//ARRAY
bar.put(1000);
bar.get(0);
//MAP
bob.put("KEY", 100);
bob.get("KEY");Encoding to byte array
bar.encode();Readable String
System.out.println(bar.toString());
